    I found on the passenger side wheel well area, some red is bleeding through the black, "is this normal"?

    One of the carbon fiber door panels have some weird spots (milky white rice sized), has anyone ever refinished the carbon fiber panel before?

    I see two valve next to the exhaust, do i just disconnect the hose to get a louder exhaust note? (I couldn't find any instructions for a CS during my search....)

    The black dash is faded, has anyone tried fabric paint to get it back to black?

    lastly is it normal to get butterflies in the stomach while driving?!?!?!

    TIA

    Hi, and great choice in getting a CS. Are you saying red is 'bleeding' through the black paint? That doesn't sound normal, if I understand you correctly.

    I have a custom, header back exhaust, so I can't help you with the exhaust.

    I have never heard of fabric paint, but it sounds interesting. You may lose the nap of the alcantara by painting.

    Finally, it is normal to get butterflies!!

    Have fun and be safe!

    yes in the area circled in yellow (us car of course, i stole the pic off google). You can see a bit of red tone in the black paint.

    It would be a strange place not to be repair correct if it was in an accident, which i don't think it has been the car is clean and the paint thickness is around 6~7.5 so pretty consistant thought out the car. Just wondering if any other CS owner noticed this.

    Thanks

    Also there was an regular wall outlet hanging in the passenger footwell, I assume for the battery just never seen one that would plug into an extension cord....

    Do you mean a "male" three prong plug is hanging there?

    if that is what you mean, then it must be a battery charger. That is where I had mine installed.

    (its needed on these cars!)

    Mine does this also. I made the same post about a year ago. It's normal.
