Rock chips.

you could use the same condom as the rest of the front of the car though, right?

I'm sure that is to prevent chips in the lens. One trip I took with a dozen+ cars down the coast, at least half of the cars were covered in green tape (much better than the blue stuff, which will peel off in the rain).
The green tape works great, although you get a lot of strange looks from others on the road.
I have never used "Track Armour"- damn that stuff is pricey! Better than peppering your paint though...

Niche Essen wheels with a custom Jaguar center cap. I like them because they're pretty OEM-ish looking, but they're also a cheap cast wheel which is both a positive is negative. I've owned lots of expensive and custom wheels, Work VS-XX, Volk RE30's, etc. and while they look amazing and are lightweight, you're always dreading a pothole bend, tire mounting mishap, etc. as the replacement costs are usually quite a bit.

If anything were to happen to these, I can pretty much have a new wheel at my door for about $250.

They look great ! I ordered the wheels I liked with the car. Sometimes I think of a nicer model, but when I realize the cost I decide to wait until I need new tires anyway..

Ha. Yes, I removed it from the spoiler and installed a new badge there. The spoiler always seemed to busy to me.

Firesand is metalic. It's the flake catching direct Sun that makes it colorshift.

Thanks! It was taken at Route 1, about 10 miles south of Half Moon Bay, CA. I was standing on a small pile of dirt/soil.
We pulled over to the side of the road to watch sunset. Right after the sun set, we turned around towards the car and the car just looked stunning!
