I was also thinking alpine white with a painted black stripe across the top just as a slight accent. Don't really want CF, what does everyone think?
There were some carbon spoiler that had a painted stripe at the back of them to match the car (for the life of me I can't remember what vendor I saw that from though.) Maybe a painted black with matching white stripe instead? It's personal preference really. If I had a white car I'd go with a matching painted AW spoiler.

Was JBSpeed that offered CF, body painted, or the body painted line on the CF.

If you go through their thread on here, you can see various pictures of the different options you have - painted, just CF, CF with painted edge/line, or painted on top, CF underneath:

I dry my wheels whenever possible using the following approach. Step 1 is blot dry with a micro fiber. Step 2 is to flog the beast at high speed.

Sure! Please post some cool pics again.
We're stuck with 70 degrees and sunny here again. On the positive side, I took an awesome bike ride yesterday in this terrible weather, and also got to cruise with the top down and the PE singing in my ear in the 'is' 'vert

i have to say...it would be SO nice to be driving around in a 'Vert with the PE singing.......one of the grand benefits of having no roof i'm sure!

60 miles in 4 hours...doesn't sound all that different than LA traffic...only fun. =P I don't know how you guys do it. But I guess this shows how important a quality set of snow tires is, huh? My only thing is I wouldn't trust the OTHER drivers and it'd leave me paranoid and worried.

And we're in a record drought and 8 straight days of 80+ record heat.

i'm on call tomorrow AM too.....so will be back on the road at 6am!

the 135is is pretty decent in the snow with these Nokian Snow Tires. Never got stuck anywhere....although had a few areas where the tail end started fishing all over the place----but just letting go of the throttle generally fixed it. Had the DSC off some of the time, and on other times, depending on the situation.

All in all, as my first RWD car------the 1er doesn't disappoint! is a lot of fun and easy to drive with confidence. You are 100% right about 'other people' though-----they can be QUITE scary

No photo, but the 135is with snow tires is handling the snow and cold temperatures very well. Yesterday I hit 5000 miles on the odometer.

I will hit 4,000 probably as I get home from work tomorrow. I won't disclose my date of purchase at the risk of being made fun of by certain midwestern and east coast IS-ers.

So tell us, how do you ever plan to get to work on time when it may take you 4 hours to go 60 miles? Do you leave three hours early?

I'll hit 4,000 after 8 months and 19 days, but who's counting? I'll compare to Kouper since our cars were born the same day and came to this great country on the same big boat. I think he'll be several hundred under me though.
