But the real reason it’s got less headroom in the back is that the rear seat bottom is mounted higher than normal because the fuel tank is so large under it. /s
The fuel tank in the g87 is considered "so large"?

Ahh, gotcha. I do think the seat height in the rear is slightly higher than I expected though.

That is actually a plus. You can sit back there without having your knees in at chest height like in other coupes. I'm 6'0" and sat behind myself and had plenty of footwell room and OK knee/leg room.

The only problem is that I had no head room - had to crank my head to the side and slouch. My daughter (5'4") was comfortable. Need to launch the 5' 7" gf in there to see

Really? I am 6ft and definitely can't sit behind myself due to foot/leg room in my G42. Carbon buckets?

Settled on lip kit. Ordered the autoID front lip, side skirts, front inlets and ID-01 rear lip spoiler.

Also heavily considering getting the Alpha-N big wing and giving up on the M-Perf one. Prices actually end up being pretty damn similar which is wild.

I may get one replacement, or just get an aftermarket set like I want to.

Teaser post: I dropped the M2 off today for full stealth PPF. It will go in for TRE splitter, side skirts, mirror caps, and spoiler as soon as it's done. I can't wait to post pictures and start my build thread.

Ordered the Alpha-N wing

I have less self-control at this time than ever in my life LOL.

My girlfriend is not going to be happy with the 10 massive boxes soon to be sitting in my living room.

Question for the boys - car is BSM. Should I paint match the entire thing, or do what IND did and paint match the bottom decklid extension, then clearcoat the whole wing portion to be gloss carbon?

I like the bottom paint matched.

It comes in raw carbon with no clear coat, so I have to either spray it w/ gloss clear or paint

Not surprised tbh, even carbon that does come with a "clear coat" is usually just a shitty gel coat with no UV protection. Always best to have high quality carbon properly cleared either way.

Hey all, got my car last Thursday. Only drive it 126 miles since I’ve been doing a ton of shit on the weekends that doesn’t involve my car.

Put the spoiler, CF mirror caps and black badge on and will lower and put spacers on next Friday!
