Good color choice. Fun to see it wingless and riding on the dummy wheels!

I noticed no rear wing either. Do they ship a R with out the rear wing
attached? Our store has never received one so its a question I cant answer.

After the car is built on the line it goes over to the modification shop to get the carbon fiber wheels, wing, and stripes put on. That is where a lot of the hold up happens since they only have so many bays to work in.

They also keep the wheels and wings in a separate location that it everyone has access to.

Exactly. They ship to dealers complete except splitter.

The time is drawing nearer. The R is shipped and I am hoping to have it home by the end of the week. In order to prepare for the journey home I invested in some temporary PPF to prevent any damage from road hazards. Through some research I found positive/inconclusive reviews about both of the leading products Xpel Tracwrap and Trakk Tape. Since I plan to use a lot of it I went ahead and ordered both for experimentation purposes. I will report back on what I find after the drive home

During the two months I haven't had a car I have been planning/plotting what I will do with the R. I have acquired a few items to start, and have a few more on order. Here is what I have.....

GT350R Floor Mats. So far impressed with the quality, but curious to see how they hold up over time.

OPT7 LED sequential front turn signals. Excited about these

Steeda clutch spring, jacking rails, and G-Trac bar.

ZL1 Addons titanium lug nuts, titanium tow hook, and rock splash guards

S550 Carbon carbon fiber trunk lid panel, hood vent, and fender vents. I have a spare GT350 Emblem I will finish in red and test out to see how it looks on the carbon fiber panel.

It is a good day at the Track Attack when Multimatic is out testing "The One." THis program is even funner the second time around.

Bae..

Oh my goodness, that yours? Going to be so nice with those mods.

Not sure if I'd rather have that or a white with blue/red, but what a choice to have. Have a DIB now so maybe white for a change.

That's THE color. Nice upgrade even though your non R was the nicest I've seen.

Thanks a lot man. This is the only car that would have made me consider selling my old one. Otherwise it would have been me and my tech pack to the end

Yeah that is mine. First time laying eyes on her. DIB is still my all time favorite color. If it was an option I would have ordered it. You are a lucky man.

 

[Zemedici]

Holy SHIT bro!!! She's beautiful!

Can you tell me where you got the splash guards and th CF decklid?

In for more beautiful pics!!!

Except mine's not an R and I've been thinking about doing what you did here. I should probably block you so I don't see your reviews/comparisons/pic porn
LOL
