Well i would recommend deciding that before install. Having oil temp and pressure is redundant. I would recommend oil pressure, boost, either fuel pressure or egt. Even a wideband wouldnt be a bad idea.

Well, you can bring one wheel with you. I can dismount for you here. And we can bring that one to him. If you find a color you want, you can have him do one wheel. Or have him get the color, and do a test on a piece of steel stalk. Suggestion though....if you find a color you know you want now, bring it to compare to his charts

I would suggest someone else for paint. We will talk about that when we meet up. I gots da hook up for paint

Actually if you want to bring it to a guy we knows place in natick, he might be better at prepping/painting carbon fiber. He does a lot of work on BMW race cars, including his M3 track car so he might know how to prep it better. Just a suggestion, he is the one that fixed Dex's car.
