The XM comes out in April. This is the new hybrid one.

Just moved to Greenville about a month ago!

Looks great, I did the same mods except wheel and tires yet. Do you have a square wheel/tire setup with 275/40ZR20's? Any rubbing at full lock in the front?

Awesome! Yeah, I went 275/40 on 20x9.5 +25 all around and have had no rubbing issues at all.

Scheduled a dealer appointment to take care of two issues:

Steering wheel click noise around the airbag when turning. (I was told a plate inside sometimes comes out of place and creates that)
Condensation inside the passenger side light bar.

Washed and waxed by a detailing shop. I picked up my car in the midst of a historic stretch of storms 3 weeks ago so it was filthy from minute zero of ownership. The hood was riddled with water spots, which the shop was able to take off (thank goodness) with some polishing and what they promise was very mild paint correction.

I'm not one to keep my car clean to be honest, so this will probably be the first and only time it gets a treatment like this.

dcchris311 · 01-19-2023, 06:54 PM

Quick photoshoot while making a video.

I demand vengeance for such disrespect!

Kidding aside, this is why Brookly Grey was not my top choice color.

That's what I like about it, sometimes looks white, sometimes Brooklyn Grey...best of both worlds

ASAP · 01-19-2023, 08:49 PM

lol brooklyn gray doesnt show dirt unless u literally drive thru pummelling mud... its way better than any black, white or any variations thereof... u really have to do a lot of work to get BG dirty

God knows how this is supposed to be done properly on the car

You just need tape. No screws necessary.
