Soon this thread is going to be moved to the "Anything Goes" section due to the explicit content!

A note for those of you still under warranty - ask the dealership to take a look at the side bolster on the driver's side seat. It's generally the worst looking part since you're constantly crushing it as you get in the car. The service manager looked at mine and said that the bolster material inside the seat must have failed, and they're going to replace the bolster cushion this Friday. Not the leather, just the bolster. I'm hoping that with a ***lot*** of conditioning and a new bolster it won't look quite as bad and last a lot longer.
UPDATE: Got the car back from the dealer on Sunday afternoon - sort of. The service guys replaced the bolster for me, but they found that the lack of bolster support over time had overstretched the leather. In other words, when they replaced the bolster and re-tucked the leather, it looked like you were sitting on a garbage bag. But no fear - the service manager is replacing the entire seat bottom under warranty this week due to the terrible appearance.

Now for the "sort of" part. I encountered the dreaded "CD ERR FO" problem a couple of weeks ago, as well as a rattling shift ****, so the dealership worked on those problems as well. Unfortunately in fixing those problems, they put a one inch slice/gash in the center console between the audio mode buttons, as well as a dent in the plastic ring around the shifter (yes, I have an 03 with plastanium). Somehow or other I've managed not to scratch either piece in almost four years, but in one afternoon they broke both. But no worries - they're replacing both pieces this week as well.

Can't wait to get it back - between a new shift ****, CD changer, center console cover, shift cover, and driver's seat bottom, it'll be like a brand new interior!!!

If your dealer experience keeps getting exponetially worse and worse, you could end up in a new GTR...
