Thanks!

...and yes I immediately realized I misspelled the title of the thread. I would fix it if I knew how!

Hello, Does any have a preferred OBD II reader/scanner that they would recommend? I would be willing to pay for more advanced diagnostic features, however, it is my understanding that such a scanner may not be available right now. The genesis of my question is that my car has a CEL right now...

I love the color!

Very nice!

Could you take a photo with a little more light so we can see the detail? If you showed me that wheel off the car, I would have said no way. But… I think it looks pretty dang cool! That wheel, plus hethel yellow with upper black pack, makes me think of Hot Wheels in the best possible way. Not...

Does anyone have some photos of the seams or fit of their PPF? For example, the Xpel I did was done off of templates, so there was a cut out around the rear LOTUS letters. One the one hand, it would have been nice if the film was fit closer to the letters. The same thing goes for other trim...

Full Xpel thought the dealer where I bought my car was listed as $8,495. No mention of ceramic.

$6,466 + 8.25% state sales tax = $7,000 all in for full PPF plus ceramic over the PPF here in central Texas

The 550 Maranello and the F355 are the last Ferraris that I thought were really desirable. Do you still have the Maranello?

I haven’t been able to find any. As much as floor mats, I’d like to find something to protect the threshold.

The Emira is such a good design!

This is enormous for me. It’s actually the main reason I didn’t even consider a Corvette.

I’ll admit I could be completely wrong because I’ve never driven a huracan. The Emira is a completely different animal, with a different focus. The Lamborghini is more of a sledgehammer car to me. AWD, raucous, flamboyant. I love the spirit of the car, but it’s entirely different than an...

The gap is power between the 2 is pretty big, and a supercharged 6 will never howl like a NA V10…. But I would imagine that the Emira would feel much more alive than a Lamborghini in almost every other way. It’s physically smaller, lighter, RWD, and probably changes direction much faster. The...

The most important difference is that you can’t sing “Here I am! Rocked you like a HURACAN” authentically while driving.

Yeah, it's a heck of a lot of fun if it's in good shape and wasn't ridden hard and put up wet, and much more likely a heck of a lot of trouble and expense...

That’s a heck of a car for that price

It's good to know that it can be done with patience. My dad bought 350z new in 2003. We tried and failed to put some sort of PPF on the front bumper. That was my last experience with any kind of protective film.

The mechanical watch market is even more "interesting".

(1) The customer base has a lot of discretionary income to spend on an unnecessary luxury good for what is basically a toy car. (2) Installers that have a good reputation charge what they want as long as the market is willing to bear it. Looks like a lot of us are willing to spend...

I remember those days. We had 2 under 2. Whenever we look back at family photos from that time, my wife likes to observe that I look older and more worn out then than I do now.

Man those seats look good.

All kidding aside, and if you really only planned on using them for driving, "minimalist shoes", specifically some of the ones from Xero, would probably fit your bill. Different models have different levels of support. Some are more minimal than others. I won't tell your patients. I'm a...

Looks like someone's on the payroll of Big Shoe!

Thank you!

I think the best way to answer your larger question is to look back at your experience with your Elan and ask whether or not you’d have done it again. If yes, get the Emira. I can’t answer your questions specifically, and honestly, I think it will be hard for anyone else to either. These cars...

LHD Emira here. The clutch pedal is, to me, noticeably offset to the right. However, it’s no problem for me in driving. The accelerator and brake pedals are close, but appropriately so for heel and toe driving. They are where I want them to be in relation to one another. I wear size 14 shoes...

I dropped my car off for PPF this morning, and realized that the installer might want to open the bonnet to better wrap the film. Does anyone have access to the shop manual page with instructions on how to open it! I would like to forward this to my installer. Thank you.

Also, completely unrelated, I think y'all could do a fantastic job on custom steering wheels.

I feel like I already know the answer to my question, but it never hurts to ask! Is there any feasible way to incorporate the OEM side airbag into a custom enclosure or pod on the Tillett seat? Thanks!

I have nothing to help but that’s funny.

Thank you for your hard work, I am happy to pay upfront and have no expectation for you to front your personal money. Tell me where to send the money and I will!

You will be thrilled when you get yours. I get more and more excited about this car every time I drive it. It truly feels that special to me.

I would like to purchase the USA versions of the workshop/service manuals as well. Thank you for doing this!

Oh yeah it’s probably rarer too.

It’s far prettier than the McLaren, and the Porsches aren’t even in the same league.

The biggest challenge I have had so far is finding suitably windy and curving roads to enjoy. There aren't too many in the Waco area. Plenty of straight farm to market roads, just not many twisty roads to bomb down! I have thought about a trip to the Twisted Sisters once my break-in is finished.

I've had mine for a week now, and am very happy with my purchase. I'm just ready for the break in period to be over so I can really stretch it's legs! I have been most surprised by the public's reaction to the car. Many people pulling out cell phones and pointing as I drive by. The car...

I took my car to a detail shop yesterday to get a quote on PPF. The lead installer, who was working on a new Z06, and did an MC20 recently, said he wanted an exotic but didn’t necessarily have the budget for one. He then said, “how much was that, about $200k”? He looked very surprised when I...
