Research and Measurement. Learning from others mistakes. Trial and Error.

Hard to fully understand the offset game until you've tried it yourself.

Was completely clueless about the right offsets a year ago for the IS300.
I can now list off what offsets I need for w/e set up someone would want. IE: Aggressive Flush, Stretch and Poke, etc.

i pulled up an article or two w/ good information and had a read. i think i have the basic concept down, however, and as you stated it varies from car to car.

You guys are comedians. Like I'd say no to the car if there was only one thing in the interior I didn't like...

Why post in a thread called, "What would make the car perfect" (for the INDIVIDUAL, YOU) if you are going to poke fun at and/or bash others' preferences?
To each his own right?
I think lambo doors are ricey too, but I'm not gonna knock it if that's what would make the owner happy.

I don't think I would do too much to it. Probably just love it and care for it and hug it every night

I have just ordered a rolling chassis and bodyshell and will build my car from the secondhand parts market (which will be huge judging from the comments here).
