Fantastic color with black accents; are orange graphics in the car's future? A Gulf livery would be sweet.

Yeah, they won't deliver with those as that is a DOT issue, Suncoast has them cheap. Easy install, your kids could do it, send DIY photos of them with a screwdriver...

Funny, I was also thinking that the lips were too much, but your explanation makes perfect sense and now I see the car differently. Keep 'em.

Once again, stunning car.

Everyone that has seen the car in person has said that it "works" and that I should not modify the car.
Balances the red taillights too...keep it, & you know yours will be the only one on the planet like it. What other options did you select/delete?

Alex,

Had the dealer swap out my sharkwerks from '07 #2513 to the '11 car before I even took delivery.

So my new car has had a sharwerks on it from mile 7 on the odometer

Betcha can't beat that one !

Sport seats (carbon)
Lightweight headlights
Radio delete (weird getting used to this at long stoplights)
Graphic delete (tooooooooo busy for me)
Steel brakes ( thought long and hard on this one and I'm glad I did it)

I really hated the red and the decals when I ordered the car, figuring I would paint it all black once the car arrives, but the red has grown on me since then.

Still don't like the decals, even less in real life and I must admit that when I see the red lips in real life, it does look better then on the picture. Red lips are not that bad, but I'd make them blue

I do see a smurf blue wrap in my future . THE best color!

Riviera is spectacular and love the blk accents, I vote blue lips though.

Car is gorgeous but I'd paint the lips black if it were mine.
