I kept mine blue to match the Milano Blue exterior. Also I lowered the brightness setting of the lights as I was getting glare on my windows while driving at night.

I was thinking of keeping orange because of the interior... but the soft ambience of the purple, suits the rest of the car real well. Purple and orange make for some very royal presentations. :P

Happy now that winter is coming, I get to drive more when it gets darker for the ambient lighting to shine. During the day (especially with top down) can't see any color even on brightest setting.

Sun came out today and went for a nice ride to get some of those break in miles done. Of course it snowed a small amount the night before again. To all the skiers in Vermont your welcome if I didn’t buy a rwd convertible we still wouldn’t have any snow yet.

It's the same saying when you have drought in the area, everyone there should just do a car wash

Just swapped them out today. The roads were pretty dry in most places and just parking lots were really wet. Rained all day so got some driving in today.

Thanks and I do as well picked them out on tire rack and ordered them through local town fair tire. The guys did a fantastic job mounting and balancing they are perfect.

It now gives me the best of both as I couldn’t decide between the all black and the black/silver oem wheels. Now I can have both.

Now you have the best of both worlds. In the summer the all black will look great and in the winter the new ones with the change of tires will officially signal the change of seasons!

By the way, have you considered ordering a personalized license plate for your unicorn?

I think it deserves one!

I am going to wait a bit. I have a custom plate for the front with my Vermont plate number. But the dealer was nice enough to not drill the bumper for the bracket. Vermont mandates front plates but they haven’t been enforcing it so I will wait until I’m up for renewal. And see how it goes. That will give me time to think of a cool plate for it.

Those STO N SHO quick release front license plate brackets give you the best of both worlds. Luckily I am in Florida that does require a front plate or I would order one.

The only catch is where to mount it on a Z4 which has active cruise control?

The STO N SHO doesn't interfere with any sensors and uses holes that already exist underneath the car.

As far as the active cruise control, there are cameras that do that up where the rear view mirror is and off to the side on the front bumper, see link:
