Track weekends. Learn how to drive it the way it was meant to be driven. Worth more than any part you could ever change on the car.

Congrats and Welcome. By the way, your front wheels are on backwards. Just swap them back to opposite sides and you're good.

I plan to attend a track day in November. Hallett is 5 hours from me so Im trying to get some other people to go and make a weekend of it. I've road coursed previously but it was an AWD. Im very anxious to see what she's capable of.

Thanks Pete, I will look closer at them tonight!

They're marked on the back, so there's no mistaking it from the back. Most of us have seen the F for enough years now that it stands out as soon as you look at it.

Good job on the road trip to Hallett. You'll have a blast. Just remember, it IS a heavy car, so don't expect to outrun Corvettes with competent drivers (although you can come pretty close!)

sorry for the stupid question, but won't he have to have the tires remounted (reversed) as well to make the directions right on them? I'm curious as I'm very close to having my witer tires mounted on my '08 second set of wheels as my second set up and hopefully the tire mounting guys do it right and also hope the TPMS stuff works as well.

yea! I got mine from Lexus of Easton or Germain. Reason was I was looking for a white or black and white is hard to find with the right miles and price. Also the west coast is more expensive when Westminster and Carlsbad was trying to charge 48k and up when I paid 42k plus shipping to San Diego. where u get yours?
