bob,
is that going to be a pair of black / orange?
or thinking about the white for the other if the upcharge is rescinded?

dell? you got an allocation for an RS? or are you hoping like myself?

philly in bama did you get the wifes permission? or is that wishful thinking?

Hoping to add just like the one in your sig to match my current yellow one just don't tell my wife that I prefer the white . I know, it's an addiciton that I can't shake (nor do I want to). Just waiting for the pre-owned one's to finally make to the rest of us at the bottom of the totem pole

Jeff, Wife's is White, mine is Black. Xenons, mats and smooth wheel are the only options. The rest will come from Gert Carnewal. Black accents can be added to white cars by the dealer for about 250 bucks. I am told that PCNA is looking a the premium for White since all of us have complained that it is unjustified.

Bob, I've seen a number of people go with the smooth wheel. Is it b/c of feel, grip, or wear of alcantara, or something different?

Bob, comforting to see your specs as I did the same except for the wheel. Eagerly awaiting your reply to Jeff's query regarding the wheel.

Wow, 46 people voted so far...that's a huge % of the total RSs supposedly being built. Very cool.

I think some who voted are not real allocations or orders.

i think orange with either black or silver wheels are nice, but the orange cap is rather out of place. this car really needs no "high lights" imho.

i will stick to black wheels as i am too lazy to clean out the brake dust every weekend. colm has PCCB, and no dust.

One item that is going to alter the look (slightly) is the fact that we are looking at ROW cars, with clear side-markers. The U.S. versions will have orange markers. The dealer now says that they are carrying clear markers in stock, so it's no big deal, but there are sure to be some people who will not want to alter the stock car one bit. Jeff can you photoShop one with U.S. color markers?

I don't know anymore. I am starting to lean towards Green now instead of Orange (I still have time to change my July build car). It seems like there will be too many Orange cars for one, but that green is looking cooler everytime I see a picture of an RS in Green!
What to do?!!!!
