Congrats, you'll love it!
The M3 that I had before the GT2 was from Braman and they were indeed great to work with.
You'll also love the SSK, I installed one on my GT2 and it made a big difference.
Another item that will greatly enhance the driving experience is the steering wheel.
I installed the 340mm RAID steering wheel and that too made a huge difference.

Which ssk did you install? Seen a bunch of Raid wheels in the Lotus community, but I already have the Porsche carbon wheel.

Mattyrae,
I got mine from the classifieds on this forum, but I know FVD also sells them.
Here is one that is very similar to mine:

As for my 360 Spider, it is F1. There is supposed to be a program coming up where I can upgrade to the Challenge Stradale TCU for faster and smoother shifts, cost is supposed to be around $1500 which I will do.
For interior pics, I posted the link to Dupont Registry where the car is still listed for sale, even though it is sold. Will have to contact them to get it removed.

^^ don't start with the horseshoe bud...that leads to the everthung else getting cf...before you know it a simple horseshoe has cost you thousands lol 
lucking my GT2 came with cf interior trim from the factory as per request of the original owner upon special order euro spec. I don't know that I would pay the premium for it it must have cost a pretty penny...

After I get the little cosmetic stuff done, I will be looking into the exhaust and light tune.
After I WD40'd the front shock holes, the suspension has quieted up quite a bit. Can't believe people don't drive these cars, car is a 2002 with only 3500 miles. Also love the fact that people don't know what it is. They are such a steal right now at over 50% depreciation. Waiting for the Scuderia's to hit $150k, but probably a year or two away from that happening.

BTW, i'm havin some spring/shock noises too recently, where did you spray the wd40 exactly?
Congrats on the GT2, and I cannot wait for SCUD's to drop too!

There are two panels left and right of the battery, goes in the shock mount hole, a certain grease is recommended, was just discussed recently.

Such a strange noise, sounds like a spring boing or unloading sometimes...

I hate the noise too, it happens the most when I back out of my garage, and then a little as I turn, and then a little when I put it in first and drive forward. After that it is gone, but annoying none the less.
