Would have been nice for there to be a yellow one amongst them.

Also, when trying to see if there were any naked carbon fibre F40s, seems someone carbon vinyl wrapped their F40... :ughh:

Oh no, now their paint is protected and they can remove the vinyl anytime they wish.

Ferrari enthusiast with way more money than taste Zahir Rana would most likely be that 'someone' guy races the poo poo out of his cars, so probably like BlackMK4 said, decent paint protection

Which is probably a good idea considering how thin the paint is. In fact if I owned one, I'd probably wrap it just for that purpose alone. I'm even thinking about getting a wrap of this color because I missed the cut-off for Individual paint:

Don't act like you wouldn't be as dorky as zahir if you had the money.

Don't wraps on thin paint cause removal issues? I thought I heard that.

I'm going to do some A/B testing for a friend regarding Miata intakes. The short of it is that he wants to use a 3D printed intake tube that will go into the bumper cover and have access to ambient air versus having a hot air intake within the engine bay. It's some Next. Level. poo poo.

Materials and shipping are like $35 for the printed tube.

Make sure you post this in the Miata thread. Let us know how it works out, if everything goes well I'll order one for sure. Would any size cone filter fit in there? I'm gonna have to look in mine, I can't remember how much space is available in front of the radiator there.

Judging from the marks left in the foam, probably just dumped the foam into a strong garbage bag and shut the hood on it.
