    A few ..... the R8

    A few more goodies regarding the R8... first, expect to see the light and dark carbon fiber side blades to add a bit of expense over other side blade options.

    The blades are also completely interchangeable and not all that difficult for an owner to switch. So, second, expect some owners to buy multiple side blades which can be easily switched to give the R8 a completely different look.

    There won't be an option for extra pair of side blades.

    There will be an option to get them in exterior color and maybe in Silver Carbon Sigma(slim one for silver CF).

    According to R8 service manual needed time for changing side blades is around 2h... And you need to perfectly aligne them as well...

    Oh, yes, AMS stuff is currently testing R8(publishing time late April)... Car is performing better then official numbers...

    And those "classy, stylish" glasses, marketed on the home shopping networks, with interchangeable lenses to give you a whole new look .

    Another cool feature is that if you order an extra pair of carbon sideblades you will have the worlds coolest and lightest wakeboard for you and your girlfriend/wife/other to enjoy at the beach
