  1. I was told that if I was going to track my HP that I should immediately switch out to steel rotors. A replacement set of ceramic rotors is 14K. That’s what a reputable Motorsport shop told me.k
  2. This sounds very plausible. My dealership may not have a clue. But they are ready to remedy the situation at whatever cost.
  3. Thank you guys for the excellent recommendations. I spoke to the dealership today and kind of hinted at something fishy going on. They assured me that “it was probably Luigi dripping sweat into his paint job.” He insisted that this car was hand painted and they just missed it on QC. I find this interesting because I spotted the exact location of the defect the minute I got the car home and under good lighting in my garage. The XPEL guys documented the exact spot as well prior to installing any film. We both assumed the wrap would conceal the spots but it actually magnified them. The plan is to finish wrapping the car and return it to me the first of next week. I’ll then attend my track events and drop the car off immediately after at a body shop of Lambo’s choosing in 2 weeks. At that point they’ll take the wrap off and respray the hood. I’m torn at this point on what to do. I’ll for sure make a phone call or two to Destructo’s contacts. If you guys recall my original posting after receiving my car, it was a video of my car being unloaded from the shipping truck and being unwrapped. This defect was either overlooked at QC or fixed at port.
  4. Lamborghini Houston. They said they’d find a reputable body shop in Austin where it’s currently located. If not, they’d transport it back to Houston and have their people respray it.
  5. Exact same thing happened to my friends M3. It was sold to him with 6 miles on the odometer but the driver’s side door and front quarter panel had been resprayed after a transport guy wrapped it around a pole. He noticed it had been resprayed well over a year after purchasing. When he approached the dealership they replaced it with a brand new car two years newer.
  6. My dealer called saying something to the effect of “Lamborghini is going to fix this. This happens quite often with these cars because they’re hand painted.”
  7. So, I took delivery of my 2018 HP a couple of weeks ago (Balloon White). It has rained nonstop for 2 weeks so I’ve only driven it 2 times. One of those times was home from the dealer and then once to the body shop to have XPEL stealth wrap and ceramic coat. Well, I just got a call from Lambo explaining that my car was hand painted from the factory and that while they were wrapping it at XPEL they had to remove the film because they found spots that looked like dirt or debris that was under the wrap. During the removal process apparently the paint started lifting. Lambo stated this was common(because of the hand painting) and have agreed to remedy the situation. I’m obviously grateful for this but it pisses me off to no end that I’m now going to be without my car for weeks to a month when I’ve got track days and events scheduled in the coming weeks. Have any of you guys experienced anything like this with your new Lambo’s?
  8. Correct. It’s still very glossy but has a bit of a satin look from different angles. The stealth will definitely make it matte.
  9. Balloon white is an awesome color. At times it looks matte and then changes from white to silver under different lighting conditions transforming the entire look of the car. Truly amazing.
  10. Drove her home from Houston to San Antonio yesterday. ‘Wow’ is all I can say! What a beast. Now to the shop for full Xpel stealth wrap, blacked out top and new set of Anrky HRE’s. Can’t wait.
  11. What’s up Gentlemen!? A newbie here with my first Lambo. Just thought I’d share my spec with you guys.
