2 things, ensure your splitter is installed correctly (they can rip off and ruin bumper), and throw some black touch up paint on the wheels and have a blast. Great buy and great color.

Great color. As everyone said about the tires and wheels, make sure it is aligned or nothing bent.

Good job on that R ,

100% true that if you hadn't jumped on it somebody else would have, rash and all...

wouldn't bother me and I probably would have done something similar in 6 months. The seal has been broken.

Congrats!

Thanks to everyone for their advice. I just finalized the deal on the '18 R. I went back to the dealer and requested that they put the car on a lift so I could further inspect for damage. I really went over the entire car looking for flaws and couldn't find anything. They gave me more than I was expecting to get on my GT so I was happy with that. Also, I don't really notice the curb rash on the wheels unless I specifically look for it. After leaving the dealer I went for a nice drive then washed the car. I really love the color combo.

Best color even though I believe it is not LB, but very close. No bias here. :crackup:

Talk to Frank. He's the recommended one by Carbon Revolution for refinishing scratched or curbed carbon R wheels.

Look at the rotors and calipers though, clean as can be so I doubt it was heavily raced. What is surprising yet again as it happened to me with a Ford dealer. What about that intense inspection they claim the cars go through before that put them on the lot ? That car should never have been put up for sale with that tire like that. These dealers today dont give a shit I swear and on a $70k car too so imagine how the rest get overlooked.

The dealership probably curbed the wheels, not the previous owner.

That's possible. There's some red paint in the curb rash and I noticed a few red curbs near the dealership.
