I saw this on Lotustalk forums: http://www.trakktape.com/

No experience but people over at Lotustalk seemed pretty happy with the results. You can read the full thread here: http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f95/tra ... ape-93201/

I have another question. I'm going to streets of willow this sunday and it's looking for be 100+ clear skies that day. Is this a good idea in a completely black car? I'm a little scared of warping something.

The color of the car being black won't hurt the car....

I was just worried that the color and temperature of the day might contribute to overheating. I have not run into any temperature problems with the NC at all but at the same time iv avoided track days that were this hot. I assume that i wont have to worry about over heating on a day like that at the track then?

I don't think the color of the car will make any difference to the performance of the car. It will make some difference to the performance of the driver if you have a black hardtop on.
