Yup, first time new buyer. Previous cars bought were 6 to 12 months old, so I wanted to have a look. I got delivery of the car last Wednesday - I didn't get them to put it on the hoist, but did take a look underneath, but as it only had 12km, I figured there is nothing that I could see odd at that time.

Change your own oil. Then you can get up close and personal underneath.

Actually not a whole lot to see. Most of the underneath has the resin covers.

I guess if you wanted to verify they installed the AWD assuming you got that model.

How does one black out the license plate to post a picture of the vehicle, like that?

Most photo edit functions have a white out or black out feature. Look for the “sharpie” pen.

That's a good idea.

Receiving the 2018 Sonic Silver GT tomorrow (Wednesday) in Mississauga, Ontario Canada. Is it normal for me to ask them to put it up on the hoist for the inspection?

I want to see all angles of this vehicle before we take ownership.

I got this and does the job for a fraction of the $$$ (2thumbs)

Instead of spending on this:

It's thicker than the factory accessory so does better job protecting the rear lip

Thicker doesn't mean stronger though. Is that just a carpet sample? Thinner and tougher rubber is probably better. Not saying yours is inadequate.
/Edit... Not at all. It's actually quite brilliant. Just speaking to thickness.

Understood. It's thicker meaning has more cushioning than stock standard
