Just to confirm the black wheels; they are gloss black correct?

Yes, they are gloss black.

What worries me the most about this car, is the wide open bottom grill. Any large rock that flies in there is going to destroy the radiator.

Thanks for taking pictures, this all but confirms that I'm going to wait until the LCI or Comp or hell, I see one in real life and it changes my mind. Much appreciated.

I zoomed in and looks like the black plastic grill should protect from large rocks but small ones moving at fast speeds will still make their way through. It's also going to trap bugs and leaves like crazy. I think the aftermarket community will still need to help make a mesh grill for an additional layer of protection that could attach/install right behind the vertical support pieces between the bumper and the lower lip to keep crap out of that big void.

Looks like there's a build in rad-guard, it protrudes 1/4 out from the cooling fins.

Wow! Good eye! I did not see that!

anitasanger · 11-22-2022, 08:44 PM

I never had until this super nice photo of it! Nonetheless, I'm pretty excited about it! Very cool.

Oh wow! I have seen the car in person and noticed the grid from a distance, but never noticed what I just saw when I zoomed in on this pic. The radiator will be fine. I am highly confident this has been well tested.

Kind of looks like crap already with pitting and this car probably has less than 1000 miles on it. Imagine one with 100,000 miles!

Not to hijack your thread, but the dealership posted a short video

It is so low down that only the OCD will notice it while picking out the multiples leaves stuffed in there.

I suspect many of us, the first/original owners will not hold onto them to a 100k miles.

Both the horizontal and vertical radiators are going to get destroyed in places like AZ or TX.

After cleaning and rotating our wheels yesterday, those wheels make me cry. So many nooks and crannies.

spuntyb · 11-25-2022, 08:29 AM

The high resolution pics make it clear that it's still an awful color on this car. I know plenty will love it, and I'm sure it's better in person (it can't be worse), but man…yikes.

Nah you right, I hate that color lmao

*bimmervibe · 11-25-2022, 08:52 AM

Thanks for sharing this great pics. It confirms my feelings that I will probably love this color. Now I'm not sure if I want to go this way with black wheels and shadow pack or stay with the silver lights and bicolor wheels

JustChris · 11-25-2022, 09:10 AM

Wheel. …. .. G. AP!

Lovely pics OP thank you, still not my colour choice but it's so personal on colour.

Quadruple VANOS · 11-25-2022, 09:12 AM

Those wide side skirts, combined with the high bolsters on the carbon seats are going to be a HUGE pain to live with. No way I'd choose those carbon buckets for anything but a show or track car.
Those carbon buckets being powered instead of manually controlled adds to the silliness IMO.
