Wheel Fenders, Fairings, Skirts, Covers

[Craig]

As much as I enjoy using tools, needing to use them to check tire pressures would get real old real fast!

Don't think that's a valid issue. JMO

I'm not sure I follow. Jobeleca didn't see the need for the removable panel, I was just giving my reason for why it needs to be the way it is.

The way I read it is, you are saying you need tools to check the air pressure.
Is that wrong? If so, sorry.

I believe what he is saying is that since the front tires are 3/4 covered (and the back worse) trying to get the valve stem in a position to check could be troublesome and it might just be easier to remove fenders/black parts to check tire pressure.

You know, if you look close at the new pictures, it does look like you can't get to the stem without taking off the fender.

At 1200 pounds, just pick up that end and spin the tire

On the 17th I emailed the following question to Elio

I'm curious about the fenders. In a previous version the wheel cover matched the body color of the car, now it doesn't. Was this just a stylistic decision or is there an engineering reason for using different materials this time? Also, is the material used for that dark gray panel one that can be painted and is there a reason that I shouldn't have that section painted when I have a custom paint job done?

Here's the reponse I got today

You will have options when it comes to the color of the wheel covers!

How remarkably informative! I think that is EM doublespeak?
