So I hope this to be the best Christmas gift to myself )

Curious why you chose to go clear and not amber.

I get that some people feel that way but I thought he said something about it being an early build 996. I could be wrong.

great question. I had an internal debate (with myself) clear vs amber, and chose clear. Amber would be the more authentic option, however I really feel that clear looks way better with arctic silver and black interior. It’s more continuos and “clean” look. I love amber with other colours (red, green, blue) and beige or red interiors, it has nice “vintage” spice.
