> Throttle full down to the floor new 4bw owner not out of break-in period. Have not NLS'ed yet... do you need to be matted to NLS? will it cut timing correctly if you aren't all the way down?

> really sporty enough for what I would prefer on this type of car you saying that would lead me to think that it is not. Its graphite that sometimes will bling, but I think what you are really getting in this paint is graphite.

Again, as I mentioned before, in general, even under full sun, this paint is subtle right until you catch the angle right where it turns rather dramatic. Photos do not capture the sparkling clear coat metallic fleck highlights. Here's evening conditions in my driveway, clear blue sky. For once...

Street parked in late afternoon / early evening light, same day, clear blue sky. In the image above, you get a hint of how powerful the pop of the metal flake given the strong lens flare/artifact coming back at you from right under the v-logo on the trunk

Got the car back from the PPF application. Here is what it looks under their lights then, again, right after detailing, outside their shop, full sun, clear blue sky: photos do not pick up the scintillating highlights of full sun. It is quite dazzling.

It's at the detailer getting PPF, will post some next week

I'm adapting my H&T for my 4bw. I take it as good practice to do it all the time. I'm personally having a hard time adapting my technique but it's coming along.

I just took delivery on a 4bw in BDT, sight unseen. I'd say that it's for the most part very subtle until it isn't subtle at all. Under most lighting situations, the car reads 'graphite' to my eye, but if you get direct light at the correct angle to where you are standing, it's suddenly quite...

thanks all for the help here--I'm going to call the main line and talk to the finance manager to ensure the account # I was given is legit, then walk down to the bank and wire it.

all good points; will be doing

I'm coming into closing on my new 2024 4BW. I need to move a sizable down to them via wire (the dealer is about 1000 miles away). The sales rep gave me the destination wire account information. But paranoid me is now concerned... (1) is it standard for a dealer to have a wire account such as...

good to know. I think with the incentive it's enough to get me over the hump and into one.

> We used to commute to work in it. heroic. There should un-ironically be a metal awarded to anyone doing that. I never get in/out of the Elise without the top off. I have Tillet B5 carbon seats in mine which makes the lotus position even more advanced to in/egress.

I'm seriously considering a 4bw but the tech really is a downside for me. All the stuff that can break or malfunction: yuck. My current fun car is about perfection to me i/r/t tech (i.e. none). Astute eyes will also note the CEL which constantly trips over the charcoal canister, showing that...

@Ramsman thanks for the reply
