UPDATE - Sold the Five:AD kit and looking for the next mods.

I'm definitely going to vinyl wrap and still haven't decided the color for sure. If I go Matte Orange I think it will bug me that the interior has red accents and will ultimately cost more money to add seat covers and change out any red stitching pieces. I am currently leaning towards Matte Red or the old standby of Matte Black. The Satin Black wraps have my eye but may be a bit too shiny. Matte Metallic Blue would be cool but I think another local may be thinking about doing that color. Ugh, decisions decisions.

Satin Black


Matte Blue Metallic


As far as aero goes I'm currently torn between the APR lip kit, the Rexpeed lip kit or the Downforce lip kit. I really like the Varis Arising I kit but fear the freight costs from Japan may make it unreasonable. Another contender is the C-West half lip kit but it appears that they have not started production of it and can't release any pricing information. It seems as if any of the aero from Japan is a big crap shoot on how much it will really cost and you won't be totally informed until it hits stateside and you get the final bill. Either way I go I will want it to be functional aero since tracking this car soon is my goal.

That said, I may just scrap the idea of new aero for now and buy a helmet and some chassis mods instead and start hitting the track.

Open to thoughts and opinions.
