I like the color, but I feel it would look more classic with silver rims. Eitherway, enjoy!

Exactly. Sunlight + top down will really dot hat car a lot more "justice" than the current photos. Excited to see it!

Car looks great, nice combo on the inside. Now all it needs is a nice sporty exhaust note and a few extra ponies to wake it up. We have a great exhaust that will bolt right on and improve the sound and power, to make it more fun to drive. Let me know if you have any questions or if you interested, and I will make a sweet deal on the exhaust.
Thanks,

But a huge selling point for the PSE is that you can turn it down by pressing the button. Before I got the car, I thought I would be in loud mode 100% of the time. I found myself turning it down whenever I roll into my neighbourhood, especially late nights or early mornings.
On my original Spyder I installed the PSE. When I sold it, I removed it knowing I would want it on the Riviera.

Sorry... Here's an update. My Spyder was dropped off at 5:30PM today... Man it is Beautiful! I was so excited that I didn't one single photo! It was the last thing on my mind. I promise to take some tomorrow.

A couple things I noticed... Sport Seats change the ride a little... more cushion, less hip support. They are way easier for entry/exit. The two roof attachments do not click into place. They just slide in place with no resistance. Clutch isn't as tight, which is nice. It has Michelin tires which don't pick up every rock/pebble like my Pirelli P-zeros's do.

Oh and I like the Sport Chrono option more than I thought I was. I might be crazy, but the standard exhaust sounds louder than my other standard exhaust.

My two roof attachments do make a small click. The resistance is very small. So small that I double check to see if they are attached. They always are.

I have the standard exhaust and it's louder than I thought it would be. It's gotten a little louder as more miles are put on the car.
