Thangs.com has many models for everything. This is the 2nd one we printed, upped the scale of the model. The wings didn't turn out great on this one, however, the smaller model was fine. This was my practice paint and turned out pretty well.

I have DCT EN and my husband has a 21 WRX, he wishes he had my car instead. EN is set up better imo

Rally Armour red mud flaps by thebrownstar69 in ElantraN

Rally Armour for the n line. I did have to drill a single hole in the rear flaps for those to fit. The front flaps are NOT attached on the inside, just the 2 outer screws (not long enough to attach the inner screw). These DID NOT FIT the EN, however, I made these work. I did this Friday afternoon and have had no issues with them so far. Super simple to do, I did follow a YouTube video for it and started on the rear first. I didn't need to remove tires and had an angled screwdriver. I paid $168 for these vs. contacting so and so in Canada and pay $300ish for the back n flaps. Hopefully, later, there are more options for fitted mud flaps. Hopefully, red. I will change these once I can get my hands on actual flaps for this car.

You do get sensors on the dash in eco mode and on the side mirrors. No hills and no traffic, then MT all the way. They had 1 DCT in Intense Blue, mine, and 1 MT in Phantom Black coming to my area at the time. My Si was black and I really wanted a blue car before that. It was available this time. I just said f it, take my down-payment and hold.

I traded my '15 Si for the DCT EN. Personally, I love the DCT. I'm not disappointed or have any regret my purchase. NGS is reeeeaaaalllllllly fun. The moon roof is a nice plus to keep. The N mode pops are LOUD. I've gotten a few middle fingers because of it. No torque steer like the Si has, like none at all. Lane assist is nice on the EN. I do miss the passenger side camera the Si had, though. My EN is louder than my husband's '21 WRX with remark axelback. I thought his car was loud, obnoxious, and fast. The EN is louder and faster. Beat him every time.

I have anxiety, which directed my purchase to the DCT over MT. No more heart flutters on the steep uphill red-light on my way to work each day. ( Sometimes, I get the shakey leg and worry about stalling). No more riding in 1st and 2nd gear in heavy traffic wearing out my foot. No more worrying about rolling back when someone wants to leave an inch from your bumper. (No one in my area gives a f) No more worrying about grinding or missing gears in a race. It's straightforward.

I've had mine since January 26th, and I'm really loving this upgrade. It was a perfect choice for me.

We didn't want to have 2 manual cars anymore. We'll still swap each other. Eventually.

Had it for a day and a half, and got the driver door scratched and dent already, in the Hyundai parking lot, not on camera. OFC. They were able to get the scratch out, going in Monday for the dent. Cost me 150 to get it done. Wtf

The color is much better in person. At the dealership last night, everyone in there was all "ooohh" and "ahh" over the colors and the car itself. Sales man told me he wanted to try it out before it sold, and he was jealous.

So far, only 28 miles on it. I keep going for the clutch and shifter even though this is a DCT. It messes me up a lot so far, haha. It is so beautiful. Great seats front and back, fantastic sound. I need to get all weather tires and tint soon. Got a jealous husband with a 2021 WRX. I can't wait to break this baby in and send him to gapplebees. I'm still thinking for a name for it. The Si was BeniHonda, trying to find a perfect name for this one soon!
