Thanks for the nice comments. It was humbling to be showing my car at the local Cars & Coffee last weekend and having people taking pictures of it.
Rear wheels are from a WB car, no spacers. The same effect can be had with 15mm spacers on a NB setup. Up front I'm running 7.5 mm spacers. Go wide or go home
Red 'S' was painted by me. Bought a replacement silver 'S' from Suncoast and painted it with Krylon spray paint. The install was super easy.
Rear LED's were bought here on the marketplace used. I believe they are Dectane's. No error codes.
Up front are eBay LED's, also with the $2 daytime running hack (insert a diode in the back of the headlight switch to create DRL's, search the forum for details). These I really like.
Of all the mods, the Bilstein coilovers are the best. Slow driving is a bit rougher, somewhere between normal and sport PASM. Highway driving rocks! Cornering is amazing. Sport mode now is awfully stiff, reserved for the track really.
On the to-do list: flat bottom steering wheel, perhaps sway bars, radio swap out for a more modern NAV system with rear-view camera, and 200-cell CAT's. Trying to stay away from incremental horsepower mods and instead go directly to a supercharger or TPC turbo system. For now my wallet needs a break.

Interesting.. I have the turbo I rims are not flushed perfectly like yours. Can you show more pics on the rear wheels and fenders?
Btw, did you install the bodykit yourself? Was is pretty much plug-n-play?
Thanks.
