Congrats! I'm sure I don't have to tell you that you'll have modding fever very soon :0)

I've yet to see stripes like yours and they look great. Time for some red caliper paint!

Have fun...

Really nice...love the color scheme, and I agree that red calipers would pull it all together.

I am not the hugest fan of stripes, but those are sweet! I have never seen stripes like that before.

Congrats on your new bundle of joy. Have fun driving it around the home of Hallmark (Sorry, I work at a corporately-owned store, and am a total Hallmark nerd ).

Thatks everyone!!! I love this car!!!!!!!!!!!!! To answer a few questions:

I ordered the car. If you search my latest posts you will find my order thread and another thread from last week with some photos of the car being prepped at the dealer.

The stripes were arranged through our dealer. They have a local club member who does all of the graphics and appears to be able to offer many of the things like Aesthetic Creations. Heck, he might order them from AC, for all I know.

The dealer gave me a free set of white mirror caps they had laying around so I had the trusted local body shop paint them chili Red and I will post photos soon. Really helps bring the red/black/gray interior/exterior together!

I also added the "S" on the hood scoop from Aesthetic Creations. Looks great!!!!!!!!!!

The car handles as well as any car I have ever owned and tracked. That includes a Z4 and a E36 M3 with Ground Control suspension, camber plates, etc.

Unfortunately it is icing in the midwest and I can't even take it out today.

I'm assuming the dealer added the Mizzou flag to the antenna. How long did that stay on?

Love the stripes!

My buddy went over to the dealer before my delivery and added those.

I kicked him in the crotch later on.
