Newbie intro
Hi! I'm a newbie in the Orange County, CA area. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'll be lurking and learning.
I just picked up a 2018 Grand Sport w/ 1LT on 4/14/18. It's an amazing vehicle and I love it!
Looking forward to chatting with you all!
(I need to update the pics after a wash and when the sun comes out. lol)

Thx! I totally love the contrast. I thought for a moment about a blackout kit, but the white on black with red highlights, including the adrenaline red seats on black interior, seems to fit pretty well. I'm really happy.
