    Any concerns having PPF applied during pollen season?

    I would trust them with their expertise IMHO, after all work is warranted, and pollen are present in your harage as well as a professional shop. I am pretty sure they have some antistatic wipes/treatment they would apply before laying the film down, or it does not matter, honestly I would not...

    This is through LCF in NC, was a no brainer to me, the installer is Lotus certified, and included in the purchase price, so in case there is a warranty issue of sorts around paint, that they could claim is is PPF related…….

    Shout out to Lotus Cape Fear

    I can attest to LCF’s excellence in service as well. I worked with Shane H and Cameron. Easy transaction, excellent service. Had a bad spark plug, and they very swiftly sent me a courtesy plug free of charge or bringing the car in (2h drive) to register warranty work. FYI, if you are in a...

    Ride Height..... hence wheel gap....official answer

    How do you move the spring perch cup from one ring position to the other. If the Emira has the same Bilstein, would be awesome to lower just 5mm…. edited……just realize they are snap rings……so it is obvious🙄 …… I had the Emira shocks apart I did not notice those 3 grooves…..did I miss it?

    I'm Doing My Due Diligence This Weekend

    I have a 718 Spyder and the Manual Emira FE, still in the Break in period on the Emira, so can not make a full performance comparison, but I agree you can not go wrong with either choice. I think you get more reliability and less depretiation with the GTS, however from a handling, styling and...

    Emira Full Handbook

    It has interim written all over it, and in running in, it states the sport and track exclusions……..interestingly under warranty, if you ever use launch control, no warranty……..not sure if that would be legal as it is an endorsed feature of the car….

    My Emira | 1 year and 5400 miles update and thoughts on my first service

    I just fitted the Larini with 3rd cat delete. The pipes are not in the center of the valance tips, but very close to the bottom, almost touching the bottom of the valance. Center left/right is perfect. It is not really noticeable, and do not think it will cause any issues, but just wondering if...
