I remember when VCRs were 1000+, the same with Microwave Ovens

Well, sure.. If that ever comes down to a reasonable price for me, then I'd get it.. But, for the moment, every car I've seen have CF wheels on it has a high part replacement price. So, for a 98% DD and 2% Track car, I'd have to say no. But, I'd not stop others from getting that.

Hey Wiki - what stripes do you have on that SS of yours?

They're custom pearl white to go around the angles of the hood and the vents, nothing on the roof, and then double layered on the trunk lid and wing. Front/Rear ties are in the same vinyl color. It all flows with the Ceramic White interior I have as an homage to the 69 Blue/White Camaros. I tinted the side markers and the white area of the tails and the reflectors as well.

Very nice! I'm looking at a Hyper Blue 2SS myself. Any issues with the white interior parts and keeping them clean?

It's a great color in general, but it really shines in sunlight.. It's very sparkly.

You can do that by switching to 19" wheels and picking the righy rubber.

Wanting to know if it's a lot of extra work to keep the white interior clean. I want it, but I have kids and I get dirty from my job sooo.. yeah. Awesome stripes though!

Yes I am hoping the same. The more on the market the better. I'll wait till the price gets driven down a lot hopefully.

They could even use a different supplier than Ford, Callaway has been using them for decades....

I did the math for my set up.
19x9.5 on all four corners.
saving 7 lbs up front each corner
saving 12 lbs out back each corner.
That is 38lbs....and I could have gone with another tire that would have been 4lbs lighter each. Could have been 54 lbs
