Just wanted to say hi (new member)

Well I took the plunge today and bought a black IPL. They had three at this dealership and they haven't moved since Jan so I think I got a pretty good deal. $48,100 with trunk liner, cargo net and clear bra installation.
Only thing that did bother me was there was a very small paint chip on the inside corner of the driver door from some careless driver or sales person.
They assured me they would take it to the body shop and take care of it the right way instead of using touch up paint. Should this be even a concern since it's brand new with factory paint?

I'll take delivery this fri and first two things on the list are Eibach PK and H&R 20mm spacers all around. This will be my daily driver and I'm going to keep my current car as a weekend fun car,

Anyway, I'll post pics soon and wanted to introduce myself to this awesome forum that made my decision on buying my G a easy one!!

Congratulations man. Sounds like a sick deal and great looking car. Yeah a scratch is somewhat a big deal. You're buying a brand new car. But I'm sure they will take care of it

Quick question, I know the IPL has sports tuned suspension but does that mean it actually sits a little lower then the regular G's or it's just a tighter suspension or both?
Didnt know if it would look weird with just 20mm spacers if indeed the IPL is a little lower stance?

As this is going to be my daily driver, I ended up going with the auto transmission.
I'm coming from a PDK transmission so I'm thinking the auto would be a easy transition.

Still looks like it's doing a wheelie like the rest of them. Your idea of Eibach and spacers is a good one. Maybe consider 25mm in the rear?
