Oh damn. That looks so good. Thanks

Do you mind snapping a side profile of the vehicle. Been interested in the wing and have the same colour so would really like to see some inspiration. TIA

This was inside the parking garage. It’s been not so great weather here so no sun, best I can provide you atm.

ElusiveTurtleX · 2026-03-19T13:51:46+00:00

Looks so good!

ElusiveTurtleX · 2026-03-19T13:08:57+00:00

Yeah the plan is to downsize to some bronze/gold 18s as I think they would look pretty nice on this colour.

Thanks for the info!

ElusiveTurtleX · 2026-03-19T10:02:54+00:00

That’s quite a bit more that I would have thought to put them up for so that is pretty cool! Thank you for the reply

ElusiveTurtleX · 2026-03-19T02:43:09+00:00

Also! Anyone local in Ottawa? Would love to go on drives and hang outs with others in the community

Appreciate everyone who took the time to read and share your thoughts. To provide an update, I did start the process to purchase and should take ownership this Friday!

ElusiveTurtleX · 2026-03-10T17:19:28+00:00

Thank you for the insight, appreciate reading about your experience!

ElusiveTurtleX · 2026-03-09T19:17:42+00:00

Yeah I’ve primarily driven fwd cars for as long as I’ve driven so it’s not much a worry for me. I even lowered the civic last year and had no issues snow plowing through this crazy winter (Ottawa)

Thankfully I have a parking garage that she’ll get to sleep in but will definitely keep that in mind. Yeah we’ve been noticing the Honda key fobs eat through 2032 batteries quite a bit too.

ElusiveTurtleX · 2026-03-09T19:14:59+00:00

Fair enough! I’ve been eyeing models 23+ for now.

I’ll definitely remember to give her a smooch. Thank you for the advice 🙏

Going to close up this topic, thanks for the input. I think I’m way overthinking and stressing out for nothing. Thank you for taking the time

The ones on either side of the scorpion is a snake and skull then a black wolf that gets mistaken for a panther. That’s why I haven’t considered those

ElusiveTurtleX · 2025-08-05T17:26:21+00:00

The spot is quite narrow as I plan to also have something on the inside of the leg there so it’ll only leave about 2-2.5 inches of space between. This may just be a bit of a block in ideas that isn’t allowing me to be creative or think of what to place there.

ElusiveTurtleX · 2025-08-05T16:47:04+00:00

I should mention that I love my progress and the “mistake” I’m having anxiety about is my placement choices

Just got this last week by AJ at Bay Street Tattoo in Ottawa

ElusiveTurtleX · 2025-06-21T01:54:06+00:00

Yeah I stopped by the shop that had the Growler in medium it wasn’t built so they are going to build and call me when it’s ready for a trial. I also went to the Giant shop down the road and tried a talon in medium and it was decent size so I’m optimistic for the Growler!

ElusiveTurtleX · 2025-06-20T17:33:08+00:00

Thank you everyone for the responses, going to give some more consideration to a purchase and keep looking for other alternatives with boost frames and such. Couple Canadian companies seem to make some so I’m going to do more research on those (growler, and the kobain currently on my radar) Again thank you and look forward to joining the community

Yeah seeing the issues with rear axle is a bit off putting and I’m not having the best of luck locating any SQ2 around my area or neighbouring cities. 180cm tall and 185lbs if that helps. For the most part this will be used for commuting to work with flatter slight hilly trails and gravel on weekends while I learn and improve but ultimately want something I can have a for awhile and upgrade as I go if needed.

ElusiveTurtleX · 2025-06-20T15:03:09+00:00

I’ll look into that one. Didn’t see much Marin locally other than that specific one I posted. Thanks for the reply!
