@PGA71 - What! No extra tinting for the sunroof to help reject heat into the cabin?

Looks absolutely on point

Maybe paint the calipers a glossy black down the road...but honestly, I don't think there is anything else to do to right now to the exterior - its got the perfect VIP look with the spoiler and tint!

@PGA71 - Are you planning to continue having pure nitrogen (or what is claimed to be 'pure' nitrogen) in your tires?

Probably not.
I can't tell the difference at this point of Nitrogen VS O2 filled.

Drop and wheels, but not black. I think the brightwork looks really nice on the car. I'd go with a machined/polished wheel and keep the chrome window trim (but I also don't have to take care of those wheels).

Yeah, pure nitrogen has 78% volume of just regular ol' atmosphere air we breathe!

And I'm assuming you and @jgscott are joking about the additional sunroof tint since it is already at least 20% and with the power sunshades if used essentially 0%.

No, not joking at all. Many people elect to add tint to the sunroof as it will offer additional UV protection as well as heat rejection. The sunroof doesn't have to end up being dark to accomplish rejecting over 60% of heat and prevent 99% of UVA/UVB.
