Default Ferrar Gelb 10L Paint to sample

Even though she resides in Las Vegas lets not assume she is a fake. Started as a C4 paint to sample 10L Ferrari Gelb, bought from the first owner "Walgreens Grandson" in Chicago when I maintained a lot of his private collection. Had a bent valve on exhaust #1 valve. At the time I was a MB and Porsche tech, I removed the engine, broke the case and had one hell of a car. I was 23 years old at the time. Had to sell her during a nasty divorce, but sold to my best friend at 30, he kept her 5 years, 5000 miles, and I traded him for my 2007 Lotus Exige, two years back, so I am second and fourth caretaker for this amazing machine. Came with some nice exclusive options, Factory hard back sport seats too. The color looks too bright in the pics above, but she is Ferrari Gelb.

Sorry for the dumb/noob question but RS tributes are normal cars modified to be more RS like, with a duck tail, lighter components, tuned engine, etc? And sometimes they have additional body panels?

Usually the other way around, most have the cosmetic RS or RS look spoilers and stop there, more involved ones will have wheels, engines, transmissions, brakes and interior too.

Would this issue be you're uninstalling the JIC setup and going w/ Lex's new product?

Should have figured as much. You're Mr. Factory RS parts man

Would love to catch up w/ you at Watkins one of these days.

What spring rates are you going to run?

I've been considering the same aero changes. Keep us posted after you get the new Bilstein Cups.

I love the look of your car and I am contemplating doing an RS tribute. Are all the aero parts factory?

I especially like your rim and tire combination. What are the specs on the rims and tires you used?
