Chris, the car looks great congrats!
As for the whinging about the open car transporter, I supposed I shouldn't be surprised given the climate around here of late but really? "Appalling?" And EEK! Parked underneath such pedestrian SUVs? Do you think the cars roll off the line and are hermetically sealed until they arrive in your dealer's showroom? This was a car that was delivered in Europe where most get transported in open carriers.
I hope those complaining about that don't do ED. My car was driven hard and tracked for >3,000 miles, sat outside at the Munich airport for a week before being picked up, transported on an uncovered flatbed truck to Emden, sat again outside at the port for two weeks, then sat on a boat for more weeks, at the port in Houston outside for a week, then got thrown on another truck before arriving at my dealer. The entire time it never saw a micron of soap or water that didn't fall from the sky or got kicked up on a track during my glorious trip. It arrived looking like absolute ****. Got it home, quick bath and looked like it just rolled off the line when I picked it up in the delivery room almost two months before.

if you had your choice between an uncovered and covered transport which would you take?

I'll be the one to say it. I just don't like the WP look on this car. It makes it look like a kit car. I guess to each his own b/c I WANT to love it.

Also, when you see the quality of the CF in person, kit isn't something that crosses the mind; more like work of art. In pictures, yes it can come off kit-ish.

Completely agree; went with LG, Gold Wheels and PCCBs. I personally don't like black wheels since, IMO, it draws your eyes away from the car and PCCBs avoids the dreaded brake dust.

I am looking at after market exhaust and headers for the 3RS; interested in opinions from anyone that went went that route. Please all the keyboard hardcore racers find something to do while I get legitimate feedback from Rennlist members. Looking at Shiftech/IPE/Akrapovic; thoughts?
