Now to wait two weeks for the car.

I'm surprised you were able to get it unwrapped, before the car arrived. The last thing I ordered from IND, came with so much wrapping on it, I wasn't sure the part was even in the wrap. Everything is definitely bullet proof, from them.

It seriously took me a good 10-15 minutes to get the front strut brace from them unwrapped this afternoon. It's a love hate relationship with their packing. Love it because everything comes so well protected…hate it because it's near impossible to get to the actual part!

Ah, I'm glad someone else with Dravit, did this first. I wanted to see it before I decided on one.

I've already spent another $12k since delivery, and I have another $3k on deck, before I get to this, though. I'm trying to pace myself, and only spend $3k a month, on mods. Right now, Im 2 months over what I've spent, vs the amount of time I've had the car.

I'm losing this battle.

I hear ya…I'm at $10k now in mods…and it is all strictly cosmetic too. Soon to be another couple of grand once the Eventuri intake is out. Then after that it will be time to focus in on an exhaust. That is going to be the one that hurts the wallet the most. 😬

I inquired with IND on this exact question and they said the caliper red was closest to Porsche's Guards Red. I have a BSM on order and was thinking of doing the red engine cover as well!

What color cover should I do if my car is BSM? Was thinking maybe Toronto red…

Red and Black always goes well. I would mix this with a CG brace as well and it would really pop.

My Verde Ermes engine cover came up 100%. I have ordered the CF brace from Turner Motorsports but are waiting on it still.

I have a BSM coming as well and am currently leaning towards Porsches guards red cover to match the brakes.

So close to 600 USD and have to wait about 2 months to get a plastic painted cover?
