    The weather has finally let up! All aesthetic mods have been completed. Time for a drive and some pics before it gets crazy weather here again!

    Updated pics and work list since I posting the initial pics.

    winter tires!

    driver side - gold wheels OEM

    Passenger side - Black wheels OEM

    Xpel Ultimate Clear Bra on all parts that are carbon fiber, Nart Blue, and the white within the center stripe. These parts retained the original gloss finish.

    Xpel Stealth Clear Bra on all other white parts to give the car a contrasting satin finish on many parts of the body.

    OEM carbon mirrors were custom painted by dealer with matching white and blue pin striping design.

    Detail and wrap work performed by NorthWestAutoSalon!

    Which wheels do you guys like better? Gold or Black?
    Please enjoy the pics!

    OK I will break the tie. Not a fan of black wheels so I almost want to bite my tongue but black wheels are better with the other colors going on that you have there.

    Not surprising, I vote for black wheels. I feel they don't photgraph well but look fantastic in person- especially with white :)

    Again, great spec! I always strive for uniqueness and you have set a new bar.

    Do let us know if you head down to So Cal- you know, we are able to drive year round...

    Don't be fooled by the vegetation, the temperatures where this car is located hit the low 30s F

    I prefer the black wheels, but gold looks good too. I must say it's quite a neat idea to have different wheels on each side!

    Thank you everyone! It seems that the more people I ask about the wheel color, the more the verdict is split 50/50!! Some days I wake and like the black better, then other days the gold!! What is my diagnosis... I may have a problem hehe! Luckily, I do have the option of keeping it half and half - as crazy as that might be.
