I picked up my 2015 Black rt Limited last Friday. I had the deal install Lamonster sway bar and links, Akropovic exhaust and fat spoke front chrome rims and a rear chrome rim.
On Saturday and Sunday ,with help and use of Fastfraser's garage and lift we installed a whole bunch of accessories : Custom Dynamics fender lights and rear lights and a HMT brake light.
We also installed a fuse block, LED driving lights, Bad boy horn ,corbin heated seat and a mouse blocker to keep the mice away from the spyder.
Today i got the spyder back from getting graphics installed. The color is bright and the graphics is called "Machinist" from Wold Class Wraps.
That looks great! There are a lot of things that I like, but I must say I like the upgraded front rims the most. The stock ones are too busy to keep clean. Nice looking spyder.
PS, how different is that black from the timeless black on the 2014 RT?

Thanks for your comments, I like the front rims too. They remind me of the old school chrome Cragar Mag Wheels in the 70's
From what I can tell its the color of the metallic flakes in the paint. Timeless black has colored metal flakes and the Steel Black metallic has just steel (chrome like) metal flakes.
With no sun and not looking you would never know the difference.
My trailer is a 2010 Timeless black and hooked on to the 2015 spyder the color looks identical. The trailer has graphics on it too so the trailer will blend with the new spyder.

Yes, It was a very busy weekend. I am very lucky to Fastfraser as a friend. Fastfraser is a whiz at installing accessories. He has lots of practice at removing panels. I am like his apprentice.
I was also spoiled as Fastfraser has a spyder lift to make working on the spyder that much easier.Thanks for your comments.
What a great looking Spyder! Congrats. I'm looking into installing a fuse block myself could you give me more details on what you did to help spark ideas. Thanks in advance and again great job!
Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?

Well for one thing I left my heated corbin seat on and it killed the battery so I wanted a keyed switch for the seat. I also keep my spyder parked outside in the summer under a cover so I did not want mice in it so I found and installed a electronic mouse detterent. I installed driving lights because to help see better at night because we ride a lot of back roads. With having said that I wanted all the electronic accessories separately fused from the spyder and independent of the spyder fuse blocks. If I have any problems witjh the electronic accessories causing spyder codes I can disconnect the entire fuse block from the battery.
I found out about fuse blocks and accessories from this web site . Spyderlovers is awesome for information. The fuse block I have has two sides one hot all the time and the other side only hot when the ignition key is turned on.
I hooked a trigger wire to the LED accent lights in the headlights.
Since I park my spyder outside in summer and keep it covered I did not want mice to nest inside the spyder. So I use to use an indoor electronic mouse deterrent and moth balls.
I gogled electronic mouse deterrent and found one that runs off of 12V. Its made to be installed in vehicles. It has a trigger wire that when the spyder is started the mouse blocker is turned off.
So now when I shut the spyder off the mouse deterrent come on. I still place a container of mothballs in the front vents.
