New owner in Morgantown

Rob,

That's awesome, too! That black is beautiful. I swore I wouldn't get one after the charger, but still got a black evo. It's way too much work to keep it clean on these roads. Where abouts do you live? Half hour would put you in..Smithfield/Uniontown?

Hula,
Thanks for the advice, I hadn't even heard of Xpel before. I'll have to look into it. Do you DD yours in the winter? The logic in my head, which isn't right, is that if I DD'd my evo with summer tires in the winter that the 370 with winter tires should be fine, but I'm a little concerned about the open diff on mine (base model). Last winter sucked for us.

I only picked my car up on Memorial Day of this year. It's my DD. Shopping for tires now. I work with my husband so on the worst days I just won't move the car. I will ride in to work with him or work out of my home office.
Folks here will encourage you to have 2 sets of tires, winter and summer. I'm going for AS tires since I have a flexible work situation.
Regarding the Xpel, I had my front bumper covered yesterday and I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner.
Here's the Xpel authorized dealers but unfortunately there's no one in WV. A quick phone asking if there is anyone now and maybe the list has not been updated is where I would start. http://locator.xpel.com/search/clear.../United_States

.

Masontown area. I actually have a big storage unit for my company up in Motown. Up there a lot & I ran the car lot on the big hill as you go up the hill over the Westover bridge on that sharp corner across from the huge church for 8 years. I will give you fair warning as I won't be bring my Z up the Point Marion road anytime soon. It is falling apart once you cross into WV. PA repaved their side but WV hasn't bothered and there is pot holes that will swallow trucks!
