Pete, car looks great with the gold accents... White/gold is the best combo IMO... Keep the black guard protectors- you do heaps of track days so function over form in your situation. You'll get used to them. I'm with the wife on the yellow headlights, yellow just doesn't do it for me on a street car!! Clear indicators and headlights for me...

Peter..

Car looks great.. I really like the face lift! Also dig the minimal graphics.

BTW, I get away w/ Yellow head lights although it isn't driven @ night very often.

Thanks guys, I am going to try to learn the black stone guard at least for the first few track events.

The yellow lights; Either all yellow including side markers, or all white. I'll look at this for a while and see what wifey says. I like yellow so the back markers know it's me coming. Kinda like Erik in orange car, that's good for 1 second right there.

All white front bumper came out nice, I was contemplation gold, but who knows, maybe I will change color again one day, so I figure paint it white. I loved the all white on the .1 GT3.

FWIW, the gold wheels look great, and match all your jewelry nicely.

I'd do all yellow or all white, not mix & match. JMHO...

All my jewelery; Right I don't even have a watch..

Thanks for the links. The all yellow is not bad looking to me, probably prefer all clear but yellow might help on track.

I do drive it every day also in the dark, will I see less?

I think all agree it should be all yellow or all white.

LMAO!!

In all seriousness, I would not do all yellow just for the track, because I think it would be a bit much for the streets at night. If you're really having problems with traffic on track, either find a different grouup to ruun with and/or run with your (whitte) headlights on...it does help.

i'm not sure. i just took the photos of that 7.1 but the owner has onsold.
won't be good if your visibility is compromised too much.

you need one of those strobe beacons they use on the prototypes to warn the gt2 class of imminent arrivals...

Pete just get some graphics on a magnetic sticker for the nose of your car to read "Get the f%$k out" as a mirror image (that is in reverse). They'll get the message when they see you approaching in their mirror
