is it weird that I think that missing one means I need all new lugs? I suppose I could just put one black lug in its place and be done with it

*shrug*

So unfortunate news. 3M is months behind in production of certain vinyls. The black rose I wanted is one of them. So instead of getting the car back Im getting another color put on the car, until the end of the year or so. I went with something super crazy, just for fun. I figured I would try to turn more heads

I also went ahead and grabbed some neo chrome Project Kics to pull the color scheme down into the wheels a bit!

Its definitely a flashier color than Id ever put on the car, if it was going to be permanent. I figured it would be fun to drive around with it for a while

Had the car for two days and just wanted to share some pics and my thoughts. A friend of mine thats a photographer on the "side" took me up on my offer to grab a few shots over an hour or so.

I rented it for my wedding day, so me and the wife could get some pics and have a little fun in it. Shes not a big "car person" so obviously it was a bit more for me than her. I was just looking forward to her reaction since she thought we'd be driving around in her Nissan Rogue.

Anyways, the car came with a full set up from Capristo and a tune. The word that best describes the sounds the car made is well, intoxicating. I kept the valves open on it the entire time. Hearing the turbos spoil and the exhaust popping and cracking, oh man!

Ive never had a chance to just drive a car with this type of power however I wanted. That being said, I didnt go over 80mph and I only floored it once to feel that supposed 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, on an empty road. Since the car was under my insurance for the two days, I drove it like I owned it...not like I stole it. Besides, the sounds the car made was truly where it was at.

I've never gotten so much attention in my life either. To the point it was unsafe. People recording the car, while they were driving behind or next to me. Lots of kids coming up to talk to me. It makes sense though. Ive lived in Chattanooga for 11 years now and I can say with 100% certainty, Ive NEVER seen a Ferrari in town. Even though theres a lot of "old money" in this town, thats the one car Ive never seen. Im sure someone owns one, they just rarely drive it.

I honestly only have a neutral reaction about the interior. the interface was more irritating than driver friendly for me. Buttons randomly set in places you'd never expect. One example is the lock and unlock button being in the place where you'd turn on the overhead light in our cars. Other little things like that.

Being a supercar, I fully felt that it was meant to be on the track, even though the seats were hard yet super comfy. I cruised around town and never got uncomfortable throughout the entire day.

Anywho, I could go on but here are some of the pics he took of it.

That looks nice. Usually th carbon wheels I’ve seen all look super chunky. Where’s you get that one from.

Put the new wheel on. I went ahead and put a side by side, to see the size difference too.

I think it has a lot to do with the weird angles they have the pics at. That or the people "modeling" with the steering wheel, have small hands? Its heavier than I expected but doesnt feel too "thick" or "chunky"

missed where you asked me the question!

I got it from Concept Z performance, its the EVO-R Carbon Fiber, Red Stitched Steering Wheel. They had two in stock so I grabbed it while I could.

I think your pic has sold me on buying a bunch of EVO-r interior stuff from Concept-Z. I think I want to sand them down and apply matte clear tho. Really love the matte dry carbon look in the new GTR interior.

they have been around for quite a long time. I'd say they are one of the companies you can trust or at least expect minimum "GOOD" quality.

Still have to do the day shots, which will probably be about 12-15 more pics.

I was just the guy that moved the lights around but we spend about 2 hours downtown to get these four pics.
