But that's my own biased POV and doesn't really mean squat.

This the-color-I-like-is-best thing is fun but pointless. Hopefully people are getting the colors they really want on this car, not the ones they think are "safe", the ones they think make them look like real racers, or the ones their peers approve of.
If it's fun, it's not pointless. Otherwise, the car is pointless.

Fair enough. Scratch "but pointless", I stand by the rest.

silverrules, in the color poll about 30% picked white and 70% picked something else but your point is well taken; you guys do stick together.

Everybody should get the color that makes them happy!

Nice, I went with white, and clear TL. I think it looks great on white. Not sure about black.

This.

I don't even like the clear horizontal strip within the red tail lights. It should be solid red.

Opinions aside, though, I'm with Mike. Everyone should get whatever they damned well please.

Yep, I'm getting painted pcm, slats and console, led's and I really don't care if I'm the only one that likes it. By the time i resale I'll either be dead, broke, or upgrading to a P1.

Is it possible you'd be selling due to a reason that isn't really dramatic? lol
