    Those seats are the best. I prefer with the accent color stripe down the middle

    Perfectly lowered and rake maintained. It should have come like this from the factory.

    The excessive factory wheel gap is likely to accommodate bumper height regulations and various driving styles. You do have to pay a lot more attention when driving a car lower to the ground. Having to be extra mindful over speed bumps and steep driveways is probably not everyone's idea of a good time. Some people probably aren't bothered by the wheel gap, but I can't stand it. It somehow makes the car look less exotic and more pedestrian.

    Besides offering stiffer suspension for track variants, I've often wondered if auto manufacturers intentionally leave a lot of wheel gap so they can save the more aesthetically pleasing ride heights and offsets for the more special models. The Porsche GT cars sit properly. Also, compare the ride height of a Huracan to an Aventador. Or even a Huracan Evo to a Huracan STO. The Aston Martin V12 Vantage sits about 15mm lower than the V8 Vantage etc etc.

    Anyways ... it's amazing how a few millimeters can really impact the looks of a car (at least in my eyes). Kudos on dialing in the perfect stance.

    @ RoadRonin - Thank you and you are 100% correct about remaining mindful of road conditions (speed bumps, dips, etc.). It’s definitely a sacrifice but it’s well worth the investment and extra vigilance.

    Thank you! It would seem we our sense of aesthetic is aligned since our cars are very similar. Lowered with similar aftermarket wheels and we both chose brushed clear finishes.
