Looks great. Those are the plain red calipers correct? I have the same color coming in a few weeks with the 20 spoke black rims and opted to get the same calipers due to edge red being on constraint. Yours is the best pic showing the color combination and i think they pop better than edge red would have. The configurator just didnt do it justice.

. Beautiful car! I believe that’s color I’m going to order when my # comes up. Any pics of inside? Looks like red seats.

getting PPF on Monday so I had them leave on the plastic. Here’s some initial pictures. I will say I was unsure how it would look with the gray and the non-edge red calipers, but I can say now after seeing it that I am beyond impressed with how it all looks together. If you need more interior pictures, let me know and I can send over on Tuesday.
