    I like the stance of your tires and the tread (from what I can see). What are you riding on?

    Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec. However, that is the old model. It has been updated in the past year. Those now have 2 summers on them.

    Probably spring time. Still a few things to address with the body shop. Then give it all time to cure, but alas, by that time a bug killing frost will have happened here.

    Nate you need to black out those headlight trim rings. Send me a set and I will vinyl wrap them for you.

    The parts are cheap even at the dealership. (2) rings L R and (2) little washer thingies L & R.

    Got mine up on an alignment rack at Quality Tire in Chattanooga. Also got a quote for a set of Continental DW's. Thinking about migrating away from the run flats.

    Today I washed mine, topped the Meth tank with VP M1 and took her for a spirited drive to get a full tank of Shell 93.:Thumbsup:

    My new Roadster was delivered to the dealership today after seven weeks of waiting. They're closed Sunday, but I'm stopping by to see it, delivery wrap, travel dirt, and all.

    I just came back in from the shop. I put in a new air filter element and removed & flushed out the intercooler. The filter was pretty crusty and the intercooler was a little greasy inside. I flushed it out with denatured alcohol...came out looking like tea. Maybe my imagination was a bit overactive, but I think it feels quite a bit more peppy.

    I've thought of that before but didn't do it.

    I'd need to do the side marker, door handles and gas cap too. When looking at the side of the car there is a line formed by the chrome in those items that included the headlight rings. Being there is also a silver roof, in my eyes the current setup works for me.
