Beautiful car. I saw your car as it was parked next to mine the day it came in. Looks great, cleaned up and in the wild.

A couple more in flatter light, for those interested in seeing Metallic White in different light conditions.

looking good! nice job!
Buy some Alpin snow tires and a spare set of wheels so you can drive it
until your new ordered car gets here!
I can tell you that last week here in Maryland, below 40 degrees it
was dicey on those Dunlops.

Completely agree on the winters. I took it out a couple of times this week around freezing and it wasn't great to say the least.

Will go with the PA4's, trying to decide to either put them on the stocks or buy another set. Don't want to spend a ton on them as I am not sure how much it will get used during the winter. All depends on the snow we get up here. Dry and cold - no problem. Snow - not happening.

I just bought the Forgeline GA1Rs in Graphite finish and they should be ready in a couple of weeks with Alpins on them. They build to order. Will also use them for another set of summer wheel/tires. I'll put Sport cup 2s on them and have another look for the car. So that way I can use them for more than just winter use.

Nice pics! But how much did you adjust the color of those pics?

I'm very happy with where my spec landed, but I will admit, your car has a few of the boxes checked that I went back and forth on... and it looks great! The black wheels look awesome, the metallic looks interesting in different lights, and it looks like you got black PDLS? It all comes together very nicely, enough for me to wonder how it would have all looked together with PCCB... oh well, cant win them all ... great car! congrats. I do like the red on the headrests in a car with red calipers, belts, etc. Congrats again

Very nice. Good to see more CMW's on the seen. I was very close to ordering black wheels with mine. I have no seconds thoughts on the color!

That makes sense.

Thanks. A little desaturation and some contrast added given how flat the light was at that time.

CWM looks exceptionally cool in those picks and so do the black wheels!!!. I went for regular white, black wheels, PCCBs and regular PDLS's --and am going slightly crazy as the Green Dale seemingly takes forever to wend its way to port in San Diego!

Thanks. Yes on the black PDLS. I didn't spec this myself but it is pretty close to the spec I ordered for delivery Jan minus lift, LWB and extended leather. On the extended leather I could go either way after spending some time without it. The red accents work great without being overbearing.
