    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

The KIA Telluride in Wolf Gray

Dude this is like the 10th time I've said something about it, but I'm SO salty about that. I just don't understand. Dune brown is head & shoulders, like almost objectively, nicer looking than the black. Ours isn't scheduled to be delivered until the end of this month, but every day I think about cancelling and either waiting for the 2021 model to feature that combination, or just pick something else entirely. Can't decide if interior or exterior is more important, heh.
For me I would have gotten black on any color. Don’t like butterscotch, like dune brown but not enough to buy an SX-P or whatever you need to get it 😂. Only exception I would make is the red seats. Cause those are legit fire. I also would 100% imagine they would only do red on SX-P if they did it.

I went and got inside 3 different Tellys last Saturday. WG/Blk , BC/Dune, DM/Espresso. I liked the Dune more than I thought I would. Espresso was nice but too dark for me. And not wanting Black Interior just put the WG behind the GG for me.

Agreed. It would be a SXP for sure
 
Anybody seen dealers marking up for the color? One dealer about an hour from me is charging an $8,995 markup for wolf gray. Markup on others is less.

These dudes are loving this new found cash cow ;p. I would tell them you're not paying a dollar over MSRP. I told my salesperson, I don't want nitrogen, no window etching. I am willing to pay MSRP plus taxes that's 100% it.

You are right. They’re annoying and won’t budge. A more local dealer ordered one for me at MSRP but it will be a while and I saw this dealer was getting one in soon. Oh well, I’ll wait, albeit impatiently.

The nitrogen thing kills me. The air we breathe is 78% nitrogen...I’m good with that amount in my tires...I don’t need 100% 😂

Btw, I think you are going to love Wolf Gray. I’ve seen it at a dealership a couple of times and it’s great. But even better was when I saw one while out. The color with those amber running lights almost made me run off the road.
 
What's sad is there are still people out there that are willingly paying these ridiculous mark ups. Dealers will continue to play these games as long as there is someone buying them at mark up.

Yeah..matter of fact. Give me the car with flat tires and you give me $299.00 to go fill my own air for 1.00 at the gas station across the street.

Don't go crashing now! Ha I can't wait. Supposedly 2 more days!!!!
 
There’s been far too few pictures in here recently, so I’ll be rectifying that. Just got it home a few hours ago. Wife is a photographer so some better quality stuff coming when the sun comes out (literally 3rd day of rain in 2020 here, go figure). Needless to say she’s a happy camper. Many more pics to come, if anyone has requests of angles or lighting let me know.

Anyway. SX-P AWD. Like everyone else has said, pics don’t do it justice (especially when the sky is the same color as the car). Can confirm metallic flake when on direct lighting, will look great in the sun. I personally don’t understand the desire to have a different color interior, gray on black exterior with the all black interior is 100% the only way to get this color, but I’m very color blind so... 🤷🏼‍♂️

Spent more than we had originally anticipated and really wanted to, but got everything we needed and all we wanted, so win win I guess. Downside is my soon-to-be-purchased dad toy, C7 Z06 is now being downgraded to a C7 GS, but that’s alright. Nothing an LT4 blower take off can’t fix. Now she’s done, time to get back to shopping for me!

Took it as such, no worries. And thanks, we are very excited about it. Paint correction, PPF front end clip, and FeynLab ceramic coating appointment has already been made, Diode Dynamics license plate lights and XPR reverse bulbs already ordered too.

Might take it out this weekend for some glamor shots, so I'll flood this thread with more pics soon for anyone eager to see their incoming WG.

Can you please talk a little about these modifications? Are these super expensive and what's the value of doing each?
