Are you still planning to keep this one a "street" car?

Yeah definitely. Not sure I would want to daily the setup we have right now but definitely street worthy still. The main deterrent right now would be the springs - having to run significantly stiffer to handle the aero we are adding for super lap battle. It’s not awful but more than what I would want to put a lot of street miles on so might go back softer after the event. Otherwise everything else is perfectly streetable and just a matter of swapping tires, pads, & aero to go track mode and back.

Picked er up yesterday, and drove it 3hrs back home. In great unseasonal weather (for us, +13c).

Unreal car, surprisingly raw feeling. I was originally undecided on the Sunset Orange from the dealer photos, but once I saw it in person it really looks amazing.

Excellent! Welcome!

The Sunset Orange looks great in photos. I have yet to see an SO M2C in person.

Thanks! I feel like it looks a bit more red in photos than it is in person.

Ordered painted reflectors, Acexxon rear reflector grills, and wheel spacers today 🤘

Changing out a few of the body panels - sneak peek as they are coming back from paint. All new panels will get the stek satin ppf like the rest of the car except will be leaving the exposed carbon on the vents with the gloss clear coat. The carbon fiber roof we just swapped in is gloss clear and have a CS Racing trunk that is heading into paint right now too that will get the satin ppf. Getting close with this latest build stage - aesthetics should be wrapping up in the next couple of weeks and mechanical is just about dialed in.

I like that matte look

I bought the car last year and then put it away for winter. I don't think the exhaust tips were ever cleaned by the previous owner.

It was a little warmer today so thought I would try to clean them up with some fine steel wool and Mother's polish and a foam cone. Definitely a lot shinier with the Mother's but but the steel wool is was required for really corroded and embedded carbon deposits and staining.

First wash after a few months of winter rain - filthy!

Put new wheels on…

SirPsychoMD · 02-12-2024, 11:00 AM

AA EL midpipe and Dinan back box.

In love…cold starts are a bit aggressive. Sport plus, flaps open, and in a tunnel…exotic sounding and drool worthy. Deeper tone, and wild redline. 10/10 would recommend.

Awesome! I have similar feedback on the AA + Remus, cold start startles anyone unsuspecting within 50ft.

t6m · 02-16-2024, 09:00 PM

Even though SO hides factory reflectors quite well.... Painted reflectors, rear grilles and wheel spacers installed! Hopefully get some better pics outside this weekend.

MikeF87LCI · 02-19-2024, 03:44 PM

Finally got round to fitting my carbon bits, CS style splitter, M performance spoiler, diffuser (not pictured) and blacked out roundels

Jacob_Seattle · 02-20-2024, 06:50 PM

Which Spoiler did you go for? Looks great on the silver. I would like to find and install the exact same one. Thanks
