I'm already planning on getting either the MMD/Foose in black or possibly the HCM Carbon GT350 Track Pack-style spoiler in black.

One thing I can't stress enough is that you MUST get 1" wheel spacers to go with the PP wheels. I went from being rather unhappy with the way the wheels looked when I got my car to now being perfectly happy with them and in no hurry to get any aftermarket wheels. The spacers make such a difference in the stance and take away the tucked-in look of the wheels.

Beat you to it lol. My vents have been black for months and the roof was wrapped in December. We can't have 3 Comp Oranges can we!?!

I just never got around to posting pics... when I pull it out of garage I will upload some.

Glad to finally have power and Cable/Internet back as of today!

Orange was hard to find, I actually had ordered a 2016 but got lucky and found the exact car I ordered locally.

Found your car, unfortunately it has a front plate =(.

Why in the hell would they put the front plate on, I wonder if it was a trade with another dealer?

I don't know about that one but the plate that they put on our 2013 Convertible was just stuck on with double sided tape.

It's from a sister dealer in VA. I'm assuming they have front plates up there.

This weekend looks to be nice. I'll get some pics. I also picked up the GT350 Coil covers. They are like $30 for the pair and looks so much nicer than the ugly gray under the hood.

VA does in fact have front plates. I'm so glad to be in NC now. I hated the front plates in Ohio. On my mustangs I never put them on. I just kept it under the front seat in the event I got pulled over. Never did though.

Where did you get the coil covers for that price?
