Yah, the non wide body cars have been rolling right along. I am not sure who's car this is, but she's pretty! I would love to see the side view to know what color the calipers and wheels are.

I look at this photo and think, Damn....that looks so good. And then I hear a voice that says "imagine this car with the fender vents that were killed off during the design phase..."

Welp, I just booked plane tickets and hotel reservations for the third week of July to “take delivery”. Game on Garth.

Apparently I am missing something

The development team of the 500 said we were very close to getting front fender vents, but apparently couldn't integrate them in the building process. Tob has a better explanation on it than I do.

Jamie, where are the mirror caps and little triangle pieces from? Anderson?

No, you nailed it. I heard it from someone involved in the process but couldn't believe it. Every single logical solution I responded with was shot down in flames with reasoning that made absolutely no sense to me. This car should have had them, period.

Mirror caps I got from Shelby, triangles from MPR Carbon (they have the mirror caps too).

Still shocked the car doesn’t have them
