The rear 3/4 view looks like Emira of The Month to me!

Thanks, I'll put it up in April

Your pic makes me second guess my upper black pack!

Your pic makes me second guess my upper black pack!

The only color I would consider a black pack is the Hethel Yellow and I figured if I ever want to try it out, I can just warp it, that way, if I don't like it. I can take it off.

At sunset in San Diego. Getting the calipers painted osmium, or maybe yellow is pretty tempting

 

[767Driver]

Love it! Ordered mine with the yellow calipers.

Love mine with the yellow calipers, just a bitch to keep clean

 

[767Driver]

Hoping the full PPF with the ceramic coating helps with that.

A good coat of wax on my wheels and calipers makes them very easy to clean the dust off (just rinse them) but doesnt prevent brake dust accumulation well enough. Gonna swap to ‘EBC red stuff’ pads some time soon to get rid of the dust, plus apparently theyre less grabby than the stock pads.

The dust on the EBC Red pads is very low. They are less grabby, but only slightly better.

Got to love 5-spoke black satin alloys!

Shows the lines so very well! Now drop it ~1 inch!

Looks nice. That a true carbon roof, or a wrap?

I could see dropping the front 1/2 inch or so. Give it a little rake. As a daily I don't need to worry about bottoming any more than I do now! I have a buddy with an Emira that is open to the idea of splitting a set of Greg's adjustable lowering perches although he wants to install his on the right side, for his oval racing exploits . Wait, didn't Lotus try an offset suspension at Indy?

For sure, the 5-spokes I see on the Elise/Exige were the inspiration. Makes it look like a proper track rat!

Xpel wrap. I really like it.
