yeah i like the red too. I was curious to see how it'd look white so I attached the white pin stripe on top of the red so it can be peeled off back to red anytime. I haven't pulled it out of the garage so I have to see a full shot before I can make judgement on whether or not i like it haha.

The pin stripe is a 1/4" x 40' and had some left over after doing the whole car.

where did you purchase the pin stripe anyway?

Are those FK2 wheels? Was that decal from the dealer or did you install it yourself?

Nice. I like the black wrapped roof and scoop too.

Winter shoes on.

Isn't it a little early to be mounting winter rubber in TN?

It got to 43 degrees last night. OEM tires say not to operate under I think 45 degrees - I've heard they're fine at even lower temps, but OEM says what they say for a reason.

It got to 43 degrees last night. OEM tires say not to operate under I think 45 degrees - I've heard they're fine at even lower temps, but OEM says what they say for a reason.

From the manual:

Summer-only and Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires are very sensitive to ambient temperatures and are designed to be used at temperatures above 45°F (7°C). Below that temperature, Summer-only and UHP tires provide decreasing amounts of grip and other performance attributes. At temperatures below -4°F (-20°C), the tire treads may become brittle, resulting in permanent damage to the tread. A damaged tire may fail during use. Therefore, if you will operate the vehicle when temperatures are below 45°F (7°C), we recommend you install other tires (e.g., mud+snow, winter) designed to perform under the expected conditions.

That being said, using the tires under 45F you just need to be careful since they are harder and don't grip as well. I would honestly switch out to winter tires when the temps are consistently under 50-55F day and night, as winter tires are generally squishy and handle poorly over 60F.

Honestly if you're in an area that bounce around 60F median during the days and it doesn't snow... you don't need winter tires I miss SoCal for that reason.

Low temps going to be below 40 this weekend. Manual says 45 and above for temps. I don’t trust the summer tires at anything 45 and below.
