I hope it grows on me. I do like the bar across the grill being gone.

Trust me, it will definitely grow on you. I have had mine since August and have made the adjustment. Additionally, the amount of unsolicited compliments is impressive.

In original pic, the wheels not being black, and the license plate, are both so distracting I haven't even seen the car yet.

And I love the second pic, I always thought the bar was a NHTSA thing in the USA? I'm starting to get curious about the minor or bigger mods I might be able to do when this car is out of warranty. It's funny I drove my 2016 to about 5 mi of warranty, and then they delivered this new 2019 because of the problems. But out of warranty I'm definitely excited to start messing with this car. I had a loaner s 6-cylinder, and I just hated the sound of the car compared to the base model, so now I'm not sure I'll even ever tune it, so most of the mods I end up doing will probably be physical body mods... And that isn't really warranty stuff so...

Not sure I can put my finger on it, it's invisible aesthetics, and all personal opinion, but it seems the lines, angles, and curves are less harsh or sharp now. The car feels less visually noticeable to me now? Or less striking?

I'm definitely not the type of online poster trying to be controversial, I just can't put my finger on it and would love other people's opinions.

It seems all the rage in silicon Valley and Capitol Hill. I like the simple stuff, and don't need any more help making my brain weirder than it is.
