I spoke with a few folks who work on custom cars in finding the exhaust shop. They got it as soon as I showed them what I wanted, no questions.

Back on the early R56's there was a recall to move the tips further under the bumper as some people were burning their legs. I remember it being done to my car and shedding a silent tear as it really did look better with them sticking out further.

It's the little things...

The other day I was at the Apple store getting a gift for my wife, and I see this iPhone case that looks like a very close match to the Toffee interior of the Roadster. I'm looking at it and realize it's leather...this is going home with me

Tints

Today I got my windows tinted. We used 35% 3M FX film. I like the look...ties the roof and body together nicely.

Thanks Patrick. Making final decisions on the details is always hard. I originally had selected the Toffee, then changed that to the Recaros, feeling I would regret not getting them. Then, the factory pulls my order and I change back to Toffee. It's funny how things work out sometimes
