Love the Riviera Blue, think yellow seat belts would compliment the blue better though.

I agree... though yellow isn't available for the Spyder. I didn't order this car... it was a inbound Spyder I jumped on before arrival. Had I ordered it, it would have been specced differently.

Is the rear window plastic? I don't remember it when I test drove the car. If so, I hope they put some lightweight grade tempered glass in the upcoming MY's.

Plastic and they all have the ripple in them. I agree that some sort of firm material would be a thought but not sure about "fold up" dimensions.

Maybe it's just me but yellow belts would be too much going on. Red blends with door pulls IMO.

LOVE the color and the manny tranny. I see myself in your car as I type.
I don't know where PDX is but that rascal would look good going up the PCH and detouring into a canyon or two!

Just saw this beauty on TS...what a great color for this car. Since you weren't the one to spec it, hopefully you won't take these suggestions personally:

1) Clear Side Markers
2) Replace Belts and Door Pulls with Silver or Black versions. To me the red just takes away from the impact that the Blue accents bring to the car.

But what a sight to see. Enjoy!

Again..love it!
Gimme.

These shots, IMO, show the red belts as a nice compliment to the calipers and rear lenses.

Gimme.

Very nice! Enjoy... I got to drive this at the PDS last year during the autocross portion.. This car was awesome.. At dinner that night, this car was probably talked about the most.. Unbelievable power, very fun to drive.. I'm trying to talk my brother into buying one so I can borrow it! Have fun
