Black is a love hate relationship lol

I've never seen a black FL5 either, though they look awesome in pictures.
Hot sun and dust conspire against black cars in AZ.

I'm in Wisconsin so I've only ever seen 2 whites in the wild, which makes sense. I love the black, but I just can't keep them clean enough for me. They look so good when clean, and like they drove through a hurricane 1 day later.

I've seen only one CPB in the wild. It's a stunner for sure but I've owned two black cars and I wouldn't do it again unless I went full ppf. As much as I love a clean black car, the hate side of the relationship, in addition to being able to keep the car clean, is the color hides the lines.

Agreed, they will be clean for a little bit then you see all the dust particles.

Black is a second job.

There are 2 great days in the life of a black car owner : the day you buy and the day you sell. Car looks good though guy.

Any particular reason you went with the MDR intercooler? Or just personal preference?

Ive seen good results from it and personal preference also. Ive had my eye on it since the beginning.
