Sport exhaust, Sport Wheel, Sport Chrono, its the first time in my life I ever bought exactly what I wanted even though it is used. However the wheels are not silver, I like them black even though I know its not everyone's cup of tea.

That's nice as s@&t! I likeee. I do have a question though. How does the roof work? Do you manually clip in the rear and then attach it up front? IDK

Thanks to everyone, as for the boat canvass, no idea, will have to report on that. I hope those extra seat belts don't mean it's been to the track for 3000 miles...

i have to admit i did not like the spyder at first, but after seeing a few, it grew on me.

the top is my only sticking point. though i don't mind the manual operation, i don't much like that the speed is limited when it is installed, and that it isn't meant for much beyond keeping the big drops out.

oh, and black wheels + white car = great combo!

Try putting that top up in the pouring rain! All in all though, that car is gorgeous.

Beautiful car bro! That top...think I'll stick with a single push button, 12 second drop under 25 mph for me.

Love the wheels!!
