I’ve actually been wondering about a blue with matte PPF - I think this may look similar

I would say it looked Better than I expected. And yes many of us have seen it at the traveling event.

Makes me rethink the whole FE thing. If they have this automated high tech paint system why can’t we get the colors we WANT, not this limited somewhat lame number of choices

As a first time lotus buyer I sure as hell hope the Emira has better build quality than shown in this video!

Does anyone think this Ferrari is about hte same color as Magma red? The car has vaguely similar lines to the Emira so I found it interested to look. It’s a pretty red. I follow this guy as he does an awesome job with PPF and his channel is a pleasure Ferrai F8 Tributo

Drive the Emira and leave the kids at home.... totally worth it.

To get color right (or even close), at a minimum you have to shoot in a custom white balance mode after using a grey card under the current lighting, or shoot a grey card and then balance RAW photos for color in post. If you do not do these things (and 99+% of stuff posted does NOT) then the...

So you're not allowed to apply anything to windows at all, even if it doesn't darken the window? Germany is all about preventing global warming, right? Think how much extra energy it takes to run AC in the car when you could just block the heat from entering. Any such restriction should be...

AFAIK it's allowed everywhere. They make a clear version that you would never know is on the window (non-darkening) that still stops like 98% of all UV and heat. It's amazing stuff

Ceramic window film/ tint solves that problem

“Everyone will own 1 black car”

Eagle - as someone who has worked in the professional photography world and dealt with image comparisons you are dealing with many different variables not the least of which is that 99% of people have not color balanced their monitors as we probably have (I hope you have) so even if your image...

Haven’t watched it once since he left

Eagle the “grain” in the metallic seems dialed a lot coarser and more intense in your most recent renders. Seems more than what it looks in real life. :unsure:

Wish we could get carbon ceramics!!

Sound is the reason I’m going v6. The Mercedes car with that engine sounds terrible imho

I’m going manual with a bit of trepidation. 1) my last ICE 2) The sound of a manual upshifting is 100x better than the whaaaaaa-wuuuuuhhhhhh 3) I think it may resell better (small part) 4) Daily driver so I’m a bit nervous about all the shifting… been 20 years since I owned a manual but I DD it...

Really wish I could pay $5k and get a custom color. Don’t want wrap as want self healing ppf. Just not in love with any of the FE colors. Want Miami blue or signal orange or similar.

Wait is that green even close to what we expect the car to look like? Seems lighter.

That’s what she had done - clear “tint” on windshield. It’s great. I’ll find the brand info and post later when I’m home but if you live in a sunny area would definitely look into it. Was $725 for the whole car (30% tint front and rear and clear on windshield)

I thought the same in the road show and also on the lotus web site I think it looks good but the possible orangish hues I can see in the first picture above made me worry. I’m right with you on argghhh!!! I thought I was done.

I’ve seen no data on what they are using for ”privacy glass” Standard tints don’t do a whole lot for heat/ UV A good aftermarket tint will block FAR more UV and heat - and many of you may know but I just recently learned when my wife had her car tinted that they have a clear “tint” that blocks...

I -promise- I’m trying not to derail your decision… I’m looking at a very similar spec (different wheels and maybe different calipers). I agree the picture above looks wonderful. However… I don’t think it looks as good here: (https://www.emiraforum.com/attachments/hethel-tan-png.1995/)...

Yes but was that sport or tour I know I -should- spec a touring. I just am not sure I can. I just seems wrong.

The wide and short license plates you all have over there look MUCH better on the car than the the US version where the proportions are ugly.

Wow these are immensely helpful. You are truly a saint and I appreciate you so much!

Oh no - I planned hethel yellow with Tan Nappa. I wear white socks with my sandals so my style is always in question - apparently Lotus also thinks I have no taste :(

I moved to a state that didn’t require but when I lived in a state that did I just took my chances. 0% chance of a front plate On this car!

Please don't leave just edit and post your final spec. The problem is we all keep jumping between specs and there are lots of threads with lots of different cool looks. But one thread to see our final "I put a ring on it" choices I thought would be nice to scroll through. Didn't think it...

Please please PLEASE don't post "I'm thinking of this, but maybe I'll do this" - there are plenty of threads for that. The whole idea of this thread is to post the **FINAL** __I am getting **THIS** car__ spec.

Wish I could Wish I could get black letters and exhaust without the black top

I would think it would be easy to tell if it’s a license plate holder - it would have threaded bolt holes in it… :unsure:

Hadn’t really considered red but man that looks really good!!

It's a partial screen grab from the yellow car in video above.

It says First Edition on the side

Getting off topic now but... if FE doesn't have ADAS and therefore doesn't have that ugly pimple in the front, and doesn't have "lane change assist" - do we get "blind spot detection" (light or something in the side mirror area) or is that missing as well.
