I had my heart set on red interior, but then I remember seeing this photo and it completely changed my mind.

Luckily I found one with the exact same interior.

I highly recommend R&J Elite Transport. Rashad took very good care of the car. I purchased the car sight unseen, but he took time to look at every single carbon fiber piece and check to see that there were no scratches. They got the car to me overnight and had no issues loading/unloading the car with the low ride height.

I have seen videos on YouTube where people took delivery and had their front lips scratched. I was worried about that but it wasn't even an issue with these guys. Cleared the lip easily.

His # is 770-927-8743 and his instagram is https://www.instagram.com/r.j_elitetransport/

He sent me a link and it let me see exactly where they were, the speed they were traveling, and the estimated time of arrival. Pretty awesome.

Possibly. My schedule is really bad to do anything since I own a restaurant and manage my family's commercial property. My next days off will probably be dedicated to the spring mountain driving course.
