Looks great, but I'm not feelin the black front valence.

How do you like the light weight flywheel?

It's black to hide an supposed impact with parking curb (courtesy of po) :( It will probably be red when replaced....

The flywheel is actually pretty nice. Only cost 499 from bmp, Idle isn't all that much rougher, and did not require a chip to keep idle the same. Definately easier to rev-match properly. All you have to do is think about what rpm you want. Good money spent i think.

At the moment i'm considering sticking with the 14"s .... Not sure if i want 17 inch rims. Roads in south carolina aren't that great...
