Guys.. some updated news

My dealer called me up and they have my car in but no kick plates. Now i want the kick plates its just something that give the car an eye catching classy look IMO. So would they be able to install the kicks even though the car didnt come with them? ( i did pay for them already)

Also if can not be installed, should i purchase it anyways? I mean im not in a rush there is snow out, i have to clean out the garage weather is a b!tch.

Last but not least the snow.. the car that they want to selll the me is sitting in the snow. How would dealers remove the snow? Do you think it would leave anything on the paint bc i kno infiniti paint is soft as hell.

What would u do?

Get it!!!! Just make sure you do a really really thorough inspection of the car before you take final delivery.

Im thinking their bright? All leds are supposed to be bright correct? They light up a blue color right? If any1 can post pics ( night shots) that would be great.

But yea im ganna go inspect it, im going to have watch out for all little scratches from wiping down the snow.

What else should i look for? Anything else that would effect the car from weather, taking off snow etc..

One more advice. It took maybe 20 new cars to happen for the first time, but it SUCKED nonetheless. I'm talking about engine tick. And having your engine replaced under warranty doesn't make it a new car in my book.

Go for a ride in your car before signing anything, and besides making sure everything works correctly, before shutting the engine off pop the hood and listen for odd noises. Good luck.

When you inspect the car - look for any salt damage to the paint, could be from the road or if the dealer used it on the lot.
Also, check your car carefully from all angles in the best light you got - I found a small ding back on the passenger side of mine.
It was hard to see, and the dealer fixed it, but they sure weren't pointing it out to me.

I didn't want it but it came with it so no choice. It does look nice but not for $268. If you ordered your car why didn't they build the way you wanted it? Some pix I took a while back. Hope it gives some ideas.
