Not for long! I was going nuts trying to find a replacement. Guess I'm not one to own a turbo...just couldn't do it.

You're a bad influence Dell. I was ok with waiting...but you car looked so good in my garage! Couldn't stand it anymore.

I saw a black 7.1 RS last month that had the decals in flat black. They went unnoticed to me for a while until about the 3rd time I walked by the car (@ Caffeine & Octane car show). I loved it..
If you decide to keep it more than 12 months I may be in line for it...
Congrats..

Rich K I like the look of yours w/o the orange wheels..
Thanks Rich! I was at the dealer yesterday talking about the flat black decals!

I would leave the decals on...have seen all black cars but I prefer the look with black wheels and decals.

Either way you win!!!

Yup, she's beauty. Did you paint the rims or was it ordered that way?

FYI: the stock seats do not fit in with the OEM clubsport bar. They are too wide and will rub. You are also not able to adjust the seat with the roll bar in the way.

I installed my stock seats with the clubsport bar before storage this year, but I am going to remove them this summer as they just do not fit very well and im afraid to hurt them.

The tequipment bar may or may not have the same issue.

You could always do a harness bar as an alternative. ( i must admit, i love stock seats too )

What is the last four digits of your VIN? I have the factory plates and my VIN is 2356.

WP0AC29947S792483 Thanks for reminding me about the OEM cage. It does not allow the seat to go back all the way. In fact, that one, the RSS bar and the DAS bar has the same problem. Anyone know of a fix or a half cage that actually fits without interfering with the seat? I def want one that connects to the shock towers.

Thanks!! What I call ghost striping are those that a shade lighter than the paint or a flat black. Enough to be seen, but doesn't stick out.
