Man, you can see the improvement of the paint on the black. No apparent orange peal & it looks wet. Did your boy put on a polish or is that just a clean factory paint finish? My CBP is supposed to be in tomorrow or Tuesday. Cleaned up my garage, installed new over lights & bought a big ass shop fan to get ready for detail day.
This was the quick ass wax job done by their dealer. There was residue leftover as you can imagine, although it doesn't come through in the pics.

Wait, is that yours Eddie?! For some reason I thought it was your friends, but I see the pilot in the background...

I'm so OCD, the chrome lugs on the black wheels is going to drive me freaking crazy.
Not mine bud, I'm hoping tomorrow is the day. I completely agree about the lugs. I'm doing something about that ASAP as well. They did mention the parts dept had nothing yet in stock as far as accessories go so they're waiting on locks etc. We're gonna have to keep these in doors at home as he has people pulling up at his house and getting out to see it and take pics. As we all know though, this is what comes with ownership ;) unfortunately it gets the attention of people that you don't want too.

Very true. I can't find any aftermarket black lugs/locks either. I did get a set of the chrome locks until the black ones are available, since these bad boys list for $1k/each. Sheesh.

Maybe we will both get ours tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Thinking about wrapping the side post on the rear wing in Red, to break up the wing since black is the only color that doesn't. Just like the L.E. Black FK2. Any thoughts...

I think that would look pretty sweet. Def looks good on the FK2.
