I need to take some better picture, but I spent most of yesterday driving the car, pictures will need to wait :) The exhaust sound on this car is what I imagine Ulysses experienced with the sirens. I smiled every second I was in the car, best of all the wife loves the car too!

This photo says it all. :laughing:

Doesn't happen often, but when one gets what ones dreamed of - that's quality of life, right there.

Congrats on the new ride, not everyone can say they bought their dream car, but have!

What engine/trans do you have in it? What color is the interior? Any thoughts of upgrading the wheels?

I did consider the Carbon Fiber wheels, but that will be down the road possibly, they are so darn expensive. I actually like the stock ones a lot they look nicer in person in my opinion.

Not the best pictures, it's raining outside so the garage pics will have to do...

I will have a review of the car after I get more bonding time with it. When it warms up enough in PA I plan on doing a proper detail and will cost it with Uber. I need to do more research on proper care for a clear bra. The previous owner had the front bumper and part of the hood done, who ever did the work did a great job. I would hope that could be coated as well, but didn't look into anything like that yet. So that will be a review for spring time.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I did a quick WW on the car and noticed some dirt under the clear bra edges in some spots. Any tips to get this cleaned up? Thank you in advance.

Not a lot you can do about the dirt under the clear bra without it coming back. That's the downside to many factory jobs or those by people who use templates. If you get it done, have the installer wrap the edges so that it's seemless. On your car the fenders have a beautiful line just begging for a seemless wrap. Being it's white it would also be an instance where you can wrap the whole hood. It's not going to be cheap as the material is pricey in large sheets like that. Worth it though. I did a bikini cut 1/3 the way up, but with black I didn't want to sacrifice the purity of the gloss which to some extent will happen with any material.

I honestly wouldn't worry about it for a while.

I appreciate the info, I thought about leaving it alone as 99% of people won't even notice or care, but everyone on here is the 1%. I may look into getting a upgraded job done in the future, right now I'll just get it as clean as possible and enjoy the car.

On the edges use a toothbrush that should get under and the dirt out.
 
Congrats on buying your dream car. Your choose a great color too! We have two cars in our family and they are both white.
 
Congrats!!! Love those F types! We need some interior shots when you can!
 
Congratulations Dmb and I wish you the best of luck with that beauty! I like that extra "oh s***" handle for the passenger on those...oh, shall we say... "spirited" rides.
 
Just saw your interior shot: LOVE that combo with the white exterior!!! Nice!
