I don't know what Hack's talking about--I'm a HUGE fan of the dealer clearcoat. While you're at it, be sure to get the dealer rust-proofing option and the scotchguard treatment too--their real life-savers!

Congrats....

Welcome to the club of Jet Black car owners.

In terms of the dealer clearcoat....there's tons of arguments both ways.

I guess it depends on where you live and the climate.

Here in the Bay Area, it's a waste.

Keep in mind, if you decide to have the clearcoat - or whatever the dealer calls it, you may want to shop around at other places to see how much it costs.

If anything, it may give you some barganing power.

Congrats again for your soon to be new car.

Congrats 'Fella! :thumbup: Skip all that extra dealer installed crap they try to sell you. Like Hack said, it's all profit for them and unnecessary for anyone who even mildly takes care of their car. Two weeks will feel like two years!
