I agree…some of my photos really don’t show the stitching well. It is colorful without being a distraction. I would choose it again.

These aren’t great and it does look great in real life. There is a video at the bottom taken by my SA before delivery.

Mounted up my autocross wheels today - 19" BC Forged KL12 in brushed dark black finish. I was between this finish and gunmetal but ultimately decided gunmetal would be a little too similar to my stock platinum wheels. Think I prefer the gunmetal/platinum look on this car but it's nice to change it up a bit between the sets.

Shark Sighting!

First day to get some miles on her. What a surreal pleasure! Cool morning. Temps started out in the mid 40s before sunrise and then quickly rose to mid 70s. Seat heaters and heated steering wheel made it a pleasure to bomb up PCH, get some coffee at Crystal Cove and head to South OC C&C. Can't wait for the Kline Inconel exhaust to be installed on Monday. It will just crank up the experience to 11.

Hey everyone, I finally got around to changing my door pulls in my GT4 from silver to "shark" blue

Found a very cheap and easy solution ($12 on amazon) and made a thorough video on how to do it. Probably a 30-40 minute job, much faster since I troubleshot everything for you. Looks pretty good IMO and matches the speed blue stitching perfectly!

I have an extra roll of material that is a darker blue that would work for Gentian, and also would have no problem making straps for anyone that would want them with my extra material, let me know.

@smegman This looks great, congrats.

I also saw a photo of the painted trim in exterior color, and really like it. If I were configuring one of these, I'd think about doing that and adding in the control panel.

Looks like you can buy a gas turbined powered Shark Blue whatever this is.

Nice! What size/brand tires are you running for autocross? I'm torn between the A052s in OEM sizes or getting 19's with 265f/305r Falkens.
