This is what happens as we come to the end of Open House. Factory Five welders Kevin G. and Eric P gave themselves some nice mustaches, and everyone got a good laugh.

Nicely executed 818

Men of the hour....nice job guys!

I like the new lines....I think they are a great evolution of the design. It will be fun to see what more the guys have in store for this platform.

[ben1272]

I tried to get some different angles.

[ben1272]

I really like seeing the engine bay through the rear hatch. Now my engine needs to look good....

[ben1272]

The trim around the glass is nicely done....IMHO

[ben1272]

Nice lines...

[ben1272]

I like it...alot

[ben1272]

Nice job FFR!

[Stickshift84]

Ben, thank you for the compliment on my 818. The show was awesome and the new coupe is stunning. Thinking coupe top and rear wing like Cheney's car are in my future.

[ehansen007]

:( Bummed I missed another good one.

[wallace18]

Looks like you can put a big intercooler in the coupe vs roadster.
