Very nice work none the less. Keep it up. Your car is beautiful.
Send your comments to the guy that made it @Wonderbar and perhaps he will work them into a redesign.

Greddy red short lug nuts finally arrived after over 2 months waiting on a backorder. They are so light it's crazy. They look good too!

Pics added to bottom of first post.

Update on Carbotech AX6: These pads squeal like a pig so I won't be using them for daily driving after the track day in a few days. They will be saved, swapped, and used for track and autox however. They stop like mad, just can't handle the squeal when driving every day. I never drive crazy/hard enough on roads to need a pad and it's higher heat range anyway. After I wear through the 2 sets of oem pads I have I think I'll go with Carbotech's street pads which are one step down from the AX6 pads. Swapping pads on this car is so simple that I'll be doing just that for track/autoX/rallyX/Hillclimb days.

Ordered a super light aluminum drive shaft that's even lighter than all the carbon fiber ones I've seen. Here's the post about it. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44150
