Looks fantastic! Personally, I'd go red lugnuts with the red caps on a red car. Of course, I went blue lugnuts/blue caps on my blue car, and will soon be painting the brake calipers blue...

There aren't any clearance issues with the 57xtreme caps. They sit over top of the center hole and are hollow inside. I assume the people that run without them either didn't like the look or didn't want to spend the $30ish per cap additional cost.

Yep, 57Xtreme, matt graphite. Not a fan of the white pockets, so got the standard spec.

I voted red lugs. Generally, I think it will look too busy having 3 different colors among the wheels, center caps, and lug nuts (but black lug nuts are passable). Either make the lugs match the wheel or the center cap. Generally, if the lugs match the color of your car, I'd like the center cap to either match the color of the car also or the color of the wheel or just go with no center caps if they don't match.

Very nice ride and photography. Those look like STI front lip/rear spats (if I'm not mistaken?). Do you have any plans for side skirts?

thanks - yes, STi front lip and spats. i held off from the side skirts because i'd rather go a bit more subtle than the STi ones - something like the chargespeed maybe. the STi side skirts look great on your car (as well as dsomegax's), though - wasn't sure about my colour.
