JC, any chance of us dragging you down to Temecula on Sunday for the Spyder drive? Would love for you to join us. Right now I think 5 of the 6 cars are of the silver variety - Rhodium, Arctic or GT - and Afshin is the lone black car. He needs some company

Thanks for the invite - However, that is pretty far from me (we are by UCLA)...maybe next time.
Thx
Jeff

Yea, in sunlight italmost disappears (In a Good way)... I think the "same color" sticker effect is a good one, curious how it would work on other colors

Ha thanks - I might even do matte black decals on my Spyder - we'll see. Have some more cool black trim interior pieces coming for the Spyder. Photos as soon as they are installed.

I dispatched an email to KI studios today. Any suggestions for stripes decals on a black 981 Spyder?

I'm looking at the #005, but was told it needs to be specially cut for a Spyder due to rear deck lid.

I was thinking blue stripe with silver accents, or matte black with silver accents, or silver stripe with red accents.

Any thoughts since there appear to be other black Spyder owners here?

Default Clear side markers

Simple modification on an absolute black car with black headlights. YouTube has a 13 min video( don't go by the 2 min video it's not detailed enough to avoid damage. )

Not really a mod, but used the 91% isopropyl alcohol to remove those ugly stickers on the visors...
Pic was after the first one to show the improvement!!

How did you soak it without getting alcohol all over the seats?

Just use a shop towel and a clear plastic bag
Slide the bag over the soaked paper towel
There is a thread on this on the GT4 board (I think )
I used denatured alcohol it worked very fast
