Very Clean!

Nice ride to be sure. Looking at your garage wall, looks like you may be a "Boomer" sub guy. I worked on those at Holy Loch. Retired RMC (skimmer). Thanks for your service.

In the right light, long beach red looks very close to Candy Apple Red. I think it is a tad darker though.

Great to hear you chose the ragtop, too!

Yes, both are MSRC. They change is worth it. I was really on the fence about having the update done on the 16 but I would tell anyone if the difference is anything like the difference I am seeing it is well worth the money to do it.

Top is also the Kalahari, thought I would like the black better but I do like the look. I have never seen on like this before.

Kalahari interior and top look really good together especially along with LBR. Black top's the only good choice for so many colors, that it's good to see other colors used
where look good.
