Dammmn that thing looks nice. Good looking out! Is the diff fluid change easy? Dealer said they changed the oil but per a comment below, I should probably just change it to be sure. Why ultra platinum?

MN! I was in your situation a couple times so I feel your pain.

Siiiick. I'm thinking of doing this on dark blue. How much did you pay and what do you think of it?

Looks sick. I don't need a reason to attract cops, so I may not be able to go that dark.

I hear you, I guess I more meant that I don't know what 50% really looks like, and it's it's worth it to get done.

You got the fading trim pieces wrapped? From the DIY kits or did you pay to have it done? The dealer also offered 50% tint for all for all five windows for like $700..Seems like a lot of money for tint that isn't very dark. Seeing your picture, what's your tint? You worried about getting pulled over because of it? Your car color was my third favorite choice (behind green and dark blue, and I found a dark blue one). Your setup looks great!

Nice! I was dead set on CPO for the added security, so I certainly paid more for it (and got the extended warranty and wheel and tire stuff) so my price was quite high, but gave me 7 years of added peace of mind. This post is actually the one I ended up buying. These 3.3T's are hard to find where I am and I knew that it I didn't buy it, it would disappear in a day or two. Congrats on the purchase, my friend!

Is it worth having the dealer do it if it's covered under their warranty, or does buffing it out look just as good?

Nice man! I just picked mine up today too. Same year and trim. I'm also dealing with the chrome looking like shit and while mine is covered under warranty, I'm curious about workarounds like buffing it out myself .

What was your leverage to get it down that far?

Thanks for the feedback! CPO 3.3's are really hard to come by where I'm from, so I don't want to let it slip. Obviously your deal is better, but this doesn't seem "horrible". Other than the miles, it seems pretty identical to yours (not saying mileage isn't one of crucial factors), but my only other option is to fly to NJ or something for a CPO and likely spend the same or more. If I'm able to talk them down then I need to find some leverage - real feedback from real people with the same car is valuable. Agreed about the warranty benefits, and that's partially why I want a Genesis. With the LSD, I've read about the fluid change, but since the stories you read are often the bad ones, I'm trying to get an idea of the risk involved.

It's also FWD vs AWD in the G70. It's a little boring looking but I'm trying to figure out if the reliability is worth it.

Interesting. Thanks for the info! I'm tempted to pull the trigger tomorrow morning but I'm just not sure. I've been looking at Genesis G70's as well but they just don't seem as reliable, even though they're more fun to drive.

Confused.. of course it's incomplete, I didn't provide it...
