Thanks! Wheels are HRE FF04 20x9 in tarmac (satin black). Can’t comment on visibility yet. Will report back once I have a little more time with it at night.

Excellent photos and some amazing locations.
The one above should be in Tesla's product catalog ...
And why cover the license plate in these photos? Do people cover their plates when out in public? Isn't the fear the same, whether someone can see your plate in an online picture vs out in public?I wondered about this too… All VIN numbers for all vehicles are already online. Many new car dealers even show in their listing. I presume the theory is the VIN number is fine but it’s not good to know who owns the VIN number?
But now how do I find out who the heck is the real person behind our made up forum user names?
This is why I drive around with no plates on. I don't want strangers knowing my government-assigned proxy identity!!
Figured I would share since I know window tinting (especially on the rear windshield) is a hot topic. I went to a place in Nashville that has done it a bunch of times and I think they did a solid job. 18% on the sides and rear windshield. You can see from the inside the slight difference from the roof but that doesn’t bother me, in fact, I actually like it because it helps me see a little bit more. If you are in this area, I’d recommend Titan Motoring.

Wheels are sick man. Signature wheel fitment and quality is top tier. You made the right choice

It truly is.. They make fantastic wheels.
Jamie is great to work with, and the fit was exactly what I wanted.

Its silly unfounded paranoia. I'm on watch sites and people blur their serial numbers so people don't claim their watches or "steal" them.
Also I can go up to any car and read the vin plate thru the windshield.

All these "performance mods" like spoilers and "red" calipers crack me up...especially the calipers for breaks we don't use.

Depending on the scenario, brakes are actually a benefit. Granted they aren't utilized on streets daily, but in emergency or track situations the brakes are a massive benefit.All these "performance mods" like spoilers and "red" calipers crack me up...especially the calipers for breaks we don't use.
Esthetics is also subjective, just like wheels, car color, interior color. Why should we exclude painted calipers or lips and spoilers?

I use the __brakes__ less than an ICE vehicle, but certainly use them, and if they're going to be visible, the red calipers looks pretty fantastic.

Personally, the mods that make me cringe the most are:All these "performance mods" like spoilers and "red" calipers crack me up...especially the calipers for breaks we don't use.
1) Those molded mud flaps, because we've seen how those rub all the way through paint to the metal (even through PPF), and
2) Any hydro-dipped fake carbon fiber part. It just looks so bad, especially front splitters and side skirts where the pattern gets so laughably distorted. Or those three-piece snap-together front splitters (and two piece side skirts). I mean, you spent so much money on your car, maybe even spent thousands on a wrap, and you're spending $50 on the cheapest eBay junk that's bad even on a beater Civic?
