Thx invisiblewave.

Senna seat swap DIY

Comfort seat weight is 50lbs. Senna seat weight is 27lbs including the rails. This was a relatively easy job, the only difficult part is getting to the bolts, particularly when removing the old seats. You'll need a 17mm socket, a breaker bar (or long wrench for the 17mm socket), a T40 bit...

Did they give you some rough guess when yours would be coming in?

Just before his Artura! 😂

lol, definitely not. My artura just arrived in Baltimore and I’m incredibly excited to drive the shit out of it this summer. At least 3 miles.

We should start a Superbowl square (I think that's what you call it, certain parts of American culture are still a bit vague).

Complicated. They didn’t offer to share any of the drugs they were on. my guess is early 2024.

Mine needs to be locked in by this Friday, still toying with ideas, love my spec that was done in NY but may blow it up and do a ground up build.

Note to self, stay off configurator.

I resisted the temptation to blow things up. The MSO sessions get early allocations this time around. If you miss your lock date, your production date may get bounced by a lot.

(Not saying it shouldn’t be perfect for you. But consequences)

wow, this looks pretty great! In what way does it differ from Blade Silver?

So this is blade silver:

It's got like a hint of bronze in it.

Here is super nova silver. The Configurator is awful in how it shows super nova silver shows super nova silver almost as putty (which makes me wonder how 'off' the other colors are too in the configurator). In person super nova silver is kind of bursting into your eyes, almost Liquid Metal effect.

Has anyone seen Cirrus Grey? It looks white in pics. Maybe similar to Audi’s Suzuka Grey?

It’s a very light grey with a faint blue metallic shimmer. On its own it looks white but next to a white car you can tell it’s grey.

There you go. With a white van in the background for reference.

Looks like chalk from p cars.

 

[Hannibal]

A bit lighter than chalk. My last 720 was Cirrus Gray. Almost everyone thought it was white, but it does show it's gray when it's next to an actual white car. The blue metallic hue looks great in the sun.

Here's what I'm going with. As much as it pains me, I'm paying a premium to get Storm Grey (available for free on the 720s). I really wanted to get the Senna seats (they look so badass), but couldn't get myself to do it, after sitting in all 3 options. Doing body-matched headlight surrounds, since it's a fairly dark color. Possibly unlike 99% of people, I'm doing zero carbon fiber.

so everyone in here is getting a 1st batch delivery car?

everyone who did an MSO session is getting an early delivery. Or perhaps a better way to say it is that the allocations for cars with MSO sessions are all at the front of the production queue

Ive had the opportunity to do spec sessions with Mclaren, Ferrari and Porsche. Mclaren by far has the best process and makes it the easiest to truly customize your car. The 750 is some what limited so you have an opportunity to do something unique. The car above looks very nice but make it more special. At the very least a custom MSO interior is about 15k. Paint the underside of the wing orange for about 3k. Add a few other accents. By no means do you need ot blow the budget but for a relatively small amount, you can make a good looking car spectacular. Enjoy and happy driving.
