Angry Carbon build up on rear bumper
after about 2 weeks after a car wash... my rear bumper is black again with carbon from the muffler. Is this normal for the S or just me?...

I believe it is brake dust. And yes it is normal. Some diffusers could take care of it or lessen it if it bothers you that much. Higher performance brakes produce more dust.

Me too. Bone stock AP2. I dunno what it is but it really cramps the GPW style.
