Hey y'all, I've been lurker for quite a minute.
I just picked up my Circuit Edition at Gullo Toyota in Conroe, TX and thought I'd start a thread.
Can't wait to be part of this amazing forum.

Happy Memorial Day!

Yee @KanmuriDavid has been a friend for years and has definitely helped me in my search.

Plans for now is tint and PPF next week. I have some LED turns and bumper lights to install but other than that I am waiting on more coilover options before changing the wheels out.

Congratulations! Glad you finally got a car!
Looks like bought not built
Yes you have to buy a car to build upon... :rolleyes:

First mod in the books. Shout out to @Cptnslo and @SXTH Element Engineering for working together and coming out with this, imo, necessity.

Glad to see it!
How was the dealership experience?
How’s the car feeling?

Gullo did a great job for me, I was in and out under 2 hours with a trade in.

The car drives quite easily, my wife hasn't really driven manual in years and was able to drive it with no issues.

Although I haven't taken the car to redline yet, based on what I can feel from the torque and boost building, I would guesstimate another 50-100 more hp would be closer in line with what I'd Ideally want from this car. But I'll hold my judgment until the first oil change and I fully open her up. 😇

Glad to hear your experience went smooth!
What did you end up paying for the car if you don’t mind me asking?(sorry if you posted that information in your initial post)

Nope I did not post it, but I'm okay with sharing. I ended up working out MSRP + $5K. I have been waiting for an allocation at a neighboring out of state dealer but ultimately this was available locally and I determined was a fair "Prime NOW" price to me. Sorry boys I held the line as long as I could.

If anyone is interested in the first Circuit spot at an MSRP dealer in Louisiana please dm me!

Don’t blame you brother.
IM really close to giving in myself.
But currently just looking for dealerships with a good treatment towards their customers.
so hearing your input on your experience, perhaps I’ll look into contacting that Conroe dealership soon.

Whats the name of that dealership in Louisiana By any chance? I‘m not looking to take your spot in line for the circuit spot as that is just a bit to far out of my budget. But would be interested in getting that information none the less.

Thanks for your responses today brother.

So I had bought some E210 license plate light replacements but didn't know that they are not the same for the GRC..




Luckily I had some 194s lying around.



I also put the sequential turns on.. Not sure how to upload the video here though?

Some shots taken last weekend from someone who came to the same banquet I was attending. They were visiting from California and said this was their first time seeing a GRC in person let alone a CE. I was surprised as I thought Cali got the bulk of allocations across all models? 🤔
