It finally arrived at the dealer yesterday! I'm on my way up to check it out today, and then off to the detailer before I take delivery.

Wow, wow! Already looking good even before she get cleaned up! Nice accents too!

I was going to say it is too bad there seem to be a lot of Chalk Spyders but then remembered that this is the Chalk thread!

Oh, so sweet. I have to wait for probably another 5 months for mine to come in. Please keep the pictures coming.

So beautiful! What color are your interior trims?

God bless,

I finally get to see chalk, platinum, black interior and red calipers. This combination has alluded me. Very nice spec. Does the multifunction wheel lose the red stitch or is it just too dark and I can't pick it up?

This Top Gear car was the closest I'd seen to that but it had black wheels.

It has the carbon and red stitching with the red chrono face.

I'm embarrassed to say, but I didn't even notice if the red stitching was on the steering wheel. I was too excited trying to take everything in, that I don't think I paid too much attention to anything specific!
But, I did start it up, and was pretty happy with how it sounded. It maybe could be a little louder, but I don't see it being way too quiet or something that even needs to be changed.

Here are a few more pics...

A couple notes: Looks like I am part of the free stripe club. Honestly, not that bad in person. All the pictures I've seen made me think it would be a bigger deal that it is. Unless you're kneeling down or fifteen feet in front of the car, you can't even see the radiator. Also, my car came with the Dunlop Sport Maxx Race 2 tires. I was kind of surprised to see that since there was a GT4 there that came in on the same ship that had the Cup 2's.

I got another look at the car this morning, and the multifunction wheel DOES have the red stitching. And it looks pretty damn good, if I do say so myself.

A couple more pics after arriving at the detailer this morning. A good detail, some clear bra and it will be ready to go by Thursday or Friday.

Is this Chalk stitching?
