i don't think they live together. if they did, that would be odd that they would both buy the same sports car.

I disagree with the double up... You don't want twins, do you? IMHO, it is the uniqueness with which each will build, can show their love of the car and each other, because they are two different people...

sorry, my .02, recently had my 19th year wedding anniversary, and feeling giddy about the couple thing...

We don't have twins, she has the IS350 F-Sport and I have the FR-S...

Two completely different machines...

i don't mean you have to do the same exact mods.

what i mean is that you can't really only mod your car. if you mod your taillights, you gotta do hers, if you get a new spoiler, you gotta do hers.....

Not even 1.5x. It's just a bit stiffer, but feels very different.

We both love Hot Lava. She considered Raven, but didn't want to have to live with cleaning it constantly. We both despise Whiteout (though I could go for Toyota Super White), Ultramarine is great in bright sunlight but looks almost black in less light, Asphalt is okay, but not particularly noteworthy, Argento is good looking but bland, and Firestorm really needs to be metallic as opposed to gloss to work for the car.

We'll each do our own mods (though I may be the one doing the installs). Ending up with matching cars sort-of just happened. It wasn't planned. We want different things out of the car at the end of the day, so we'll head in different directions with some matching bits here and there because we have similar tastes.

Anyone in NorCal Bay Area still looking for one of these?

Kind of strange how there are apparently 2,000, but my dad's dealership has already allocated 5! I think they only got 2-3 10 series.

Anyways, you can hit me up if you're looking for:

Raven, MT
Argento, MT
Ultramarine, AT

Why did you sell? It sounds like the upcoming changes will be minimal and can be retro-fitted on the original.

Finally figured out how to upload pics. Heres one of the car on the truck

And here's one I took right after picking it up when I was learning to drive manual.

Sorry for the quality. Ill take better ones after pollen season when the car actually stays washed after I wash it.

Whiteout, MT
As I've said before in this thread, I feel like they're almost all manual Whiteouts lol

That's not bad! I heard the deliveries have been quicker than anticipated.
4-6 weeks have turned into 3 for a guy from the same dealership.

Yeah it seems like that's a popular choice, though I can see why whiteout is gorgeous!

I've been waiting over 2 months LOL

Maybe the lower number of cars means it gets to us faster? Dunno..
