Chandler,Arizona.
that's because there is no "best". It's all subjective. :)
Do what you love.

Wheels look good.

I've seen the blue alcantara in person and I dig it. Usually when people do blue alcantara, it's not great, but this is a nice dark shade of blue.

Not sure I understand this statement from that story... sounds like they are saying the CF exterior trim will not be exposed CF but rather painted gloss, matte or shadow black?? Hope this is not what they meant.

"allow customers to choose from gloss, matte or Shadow Black paint to cover the exposed carbon fiber trim".

Bare CF either gloss or matte, or painted black.

If I get one, 1st mod, will be to get side markers pained body color. Their location and integration on this car, is far better than most cars, but...

I noticed that, too. This is what happens when you hire people with the skillls to do a job, but no knowledge of the topic they're working on... It's an extremely impressive rendering, but had it been done by someone that knew anything about cars, it likely wouldnt have happened.

I would say this is a simple oversight when choosing the tire textures. Don't asked how often I have seen wheels mirrored to the other side showing all text mirrored as well :)

It's funny, though, as 245/35ZR26 - yes, that is a 26 inch wheel... is absolutely not a tire that exists - at least not for a Michelin PS Cup 2.

Maybe for some brand specializing in "Donk" tires, but surely not in Michelin's catalog. Not sure how that even made it into the picture.
