Apologies in advance, but BG over Cognac does not appear to be a favorable color combo.

I actually quite like everything I've seen of the cognac interior, including on this BG one. But I've always been a fan of lighter interior colors. I don't mind the look of the cognac door panels at all, with the exception of the dumb M color panel.

Amen. I'm not particularly handy, but where there's a will there's a way. To my eye, that panel is pointless and tacky and it's got to go.

The cognac looks great in my F22 M240 and that has a black dash. 95% of the time someone new comes in the car they comment on how much they love the cognac color. We call it baseball mit brown. Those m stripes though, they are probably my least favorite part of the entire car. Fully plan on getting it again.

It's horrendous! Made me want to rip it off and stomp on it like saving a child from a predator.
Certainly an unusual build... along with the Cognac interior, M Carbon Roof, M Seat Belts, and Carbon Fiber trim.
Surprising to me is that I do like the dual staggered bi-colored wheels.

Yea, it sucks to reside in a state that mandates a front tag as it looks absolutely horrible on the G87.

3d print a cover. That way you can keep it original underneath for future value. Heck a few people on here might be interested.

yeah i would just take the ticket. its not a moving/points violation

some cops are pricks though if you live in a small town. they have nothing better to do. in that case just get the tow hook thing to hold the plate.

My bad, I didn't see that you had posted it. With us getting a new forum I'm still finding my way around tbh.
