Introducing.....PURPLE HAZE
The car has MASSIVE presence. The UV is definitely a color to be loved. My wife and a close buddy thought it was going to be a not so cool color but both loved it. Both of them would tell it as it is. So on aesthetics, I give it 9/10. The only reason I didn't give it 10/10 is the fact that it rides higher than I like. After alignment, I measured 4.25 inches from bottom of front lip to ground, versus 3.5 for my GT3. However, when I measured the GT3, the suspension has settled so I may drop another 0.25 inches or so.
Alignment: could not get get more than -2'32" in the front, ran out of thread (GT3 stopped at -3') but may be with settling I get a bit more. So, without getting Mototrsport shims, the rears are maxed at -2'29". So for practical purposes, I have -2.5 all around. Strange as I got -3 in the GT3.
The sound!! Comparison is irrelevant because I have a different exhaust, Akrapovic Race. But, it is worth its price by virtue of sound and weight alone.
Road noise? Coasting at highway speed and road driving, I can't tell the difference between it and the GT3, I actually put it in Neutral to minimize exhaust effect.
Street performance? Can't tell a difference except for a mild mid range oomph. Very mild, but there. Mind you, I'm shifting at 5,500 RPM max, for now.
Track performance and handling? Not yet, need dry weather and break in complete, so not this weekend.
OK< here are a few pics in my garage at night, not the best but you get the idea. Note the Chrono DIY mod

That is an interesting color combo on the interior vent and gauge trim.
Can you elaborate on "massive presence" is it due to size or color pop?
Looks great, enjoy!

Thanks!
Thank you!
Lovin it..
Thanks, Looking forward to it.
Soon buddy, let me know when you're around.
Thanks.
I wasn't sure if the yellow would be too much but the steering wheel had a little yellow and the harnesses have yellow, so I added the belts and chrono. Not striking me as too many colors but of course, opinions vary. Regarding presence, I was referring to size mainly and color secondary but I am somewhat biased about my choice.
