AJP's 2016 2SS

Traded in my IBM late June for a SW 2016 2SS. Probably one of the hardest things Ive done LOL.

I thought having a white blank canvas would be easy, but I was wrong. Stripes just don't look right on the SS.

Ran into the 315/35 rear rubbing issue as soon as drove off the lot (I had swapped over my VFS1's from my 5th gen).

Also I suspect I have early symptoms of NPP rattle.

The 2016 is a lot more fun to drive, but my 5th gen felt bullet proof. Fit and finish was still good after 7 years. So reserving some judgement here.

Anyway, i have lots of plans to customize the exterior in the next few months.

1) Tint lights/black out bowtie
2) Wrap roof
3) ACS sideskirts and spoiler
4) Stillen splitter
5) Add color to wheels or buy new wheels
6) Vinyl wrap maybe?
7) Add some vinyl accents to break up the white
.....

Changed wheels? Rear tires?

Looks good! The two tone wheel look intrigues me, as does the red anodized, but I'm trying not to attract to much attention.

Imperial Blue Metallic

The two tone was too costly, I am deciding between red forgestars or applying a liquid wrap satin red on my VFS1s.

roof is now gloss black.

Installer is going to redo the antenna next week.

I am also dropping off Still splitter, ACS side skirts and spoiler for painting next week, and hopefully install the week after.

Still debating if I should keep my wheels are get new ones, I am kicking around the idea of red concaves.

Good news - wheels are done.

Bad news - have to wait 2 weeks to get then on.

Tire lettering seems to be polarizing...but I may try it out.
