Yup, my favorite color combo...

A few questions....

1. How in the world does this car not have back up camera?? Was it even an option on the 2014s?
2. Is there any harm in running the car with the spoiler up the entire time? Anything I should or shouldn't do? (e.g. Don't leave it up over night, don't leave it up in 'Park', etc.)
3. If running in Sport Plus in manual mode, will the car auto shift for me at redline? If it's like the Huracan, it will NOT auto shift in the most aggressive mode when in manual.
4. When opening the engine bonnet, is it really that very upper small portion of the rear bumper cutout that opens only?

I know these are all super noob-like question, but I am a super-noob so makes sense. lol. Thank you in advanced.

1 - Not sure.

2 - My question to your #2 question is, why would you?

3 - Yes, I think it does to "save" itself.

4 - Yes. Crazy huh.

1. Yes it was an option that most cars had. I think it was bundled in an option called Premium Package Plus which came with a few other essentials so most everyone was ordered with it. I'm guessing you also don't have keyless entry and drive. You could certainly get one installed now that hooks up to the head unit.
2. I wouldn't because the front spoiler comes down and is at risk for damage when going into driveways, speed bumps, etc. It can easily get dinged up or even popped.
3. No. However what it does is kill the throttle to protect the engine, which results in quite an uncomfortable jerking back of the driver and passengers. That is unless you have your foot all the way down to the floor so it's in kick down mode. Then it will auto shift at the redline.
4. Yes. Access to the engine requires taking off the rear wheels and back bumper

2014 TTS, yes slightly tinted. Surprisingly no effect at all on visibility. (Or maybe there is if I were to take it off and compare, lol)

Pretty lame for a $200k car, huh? My car was advertised with it when i bought it used, but it didn't actually have one...

2. Is there any harm in running the car with the spoiler up the entire time? Anything I should or shouldn't do? (e.g. Don't leave it up over night, don't leave it up in 'Park', etc.)
Can't answer this one for sure but i'm sure it's not ideal if the system is pneumatic or hydraulic which would keep the system pressurized for an extended period. If gear driven, i'm sure it's ok. Can anyone chime in on the type of system?

4. When opening the engine bonnet, is it really that very upper small portion of the rear bumper cutout that opens only?
Yep... this was at Super Car Sunday LOL

-Needs more rumble
A nice exhaust and headers will fix that

-Rides a little stiffer than I was hoping for
DSC Sport will give you a more supple ride during regular driving

-No back up camera / front end lift system
There's a $1000 retrofit here, get the module and cam: NavTV

-Cluster/font/gauges are dated
LOL Everything will be outdated to the newest Audi/Lamborghini MMI

Thanks all. The modding has begun. Going to keep it super light starting off with an Kline cat-less exhaust from Sam and go from there. Excited to get it on and get some sound out of this little 6 cylinder.
