Re: Pictures I promised ...
One more picture for Joost and roadtrip:
Jason: The eylids came from EVOMS Carbon Fiber Eyelids Price: $349.00 USD raclaims is right, it is indeed a K40 Diffuser with a Bluetooth Remote. What more can you ask for: It turns on with the push of a button, it talks to you, it warns you when trouble is near, it beeps at you, it flashes you
and it can be muted with the push of a remote button! 
hatchback, Ron : There was a HUGH immediately noticable difference with the new wheels. I know many will fid it hard to believe. For those, please read explanation below. The car is much more compliant and notably more comfortable to ride in. I expected better traction, less hopping during hard braking and acceleration and a better feel of the road ... but I never, ever dreamed the ride quality would improve so much!
I am elated! 
WR: The Dymag wheels weigh 16 lbs (front) and 20 lbs (rear). They have carbon fiber rims attached to magnesium spokes with titanium bolts. I used Poggipolini titanium wheel lugs. In a ground vehicle with a suspension, the unsprung weight (or, more properly, the unsprung mass) is the mass of the suspension, wheels or tracks (as applicable), and other components directly connected to them, rather than supported by the suspension. (The mass of the body and other components supported by the suspension is the sprung mass.) Unsprung weight includes the mass of components such as the wheel spindles, wheel bearings, tires, and a portion of the weight of driveshafts, springs, shock absorbers, and suspension links. If the vehicle's brakes are mounted outboard (i.e., within the wheel), their weight is also part of the unsprung weight.
Effects of Unsprung Weight
The unsprung weight of a wheel controls a trade-off between a wheel's bump-following ability and its vibration isolation. Bumps and surface imperfections in the road cause tire compression--which induces a force on the unsprung weight. In time, the unsprung weight then responds to this force with movement of its own. The amount of movement is inversely proportional to the weight - a lighter wheel which readily moves in response to road bumps will have more grip when tracking over an imperfect road. For this reason, lighter wheels are often sought for high-performance applications. In contrast, a heavier wheel which moves less will not absorb as much vibration; the irregularities of the road surface will transfer to the cabin through the geometry of the suspension and hence ride quality is deteriorated.
eclou: Some day I would like to get our cars together. Both of us seem to have upgraded our cars, enjoy driving and tracking them! Texas is not so far from Tulsa!

Re: Pictures I promised ...
Thanks for pointing out where to get those CF rings. I might go that route sometime down the road. Also, is your "turbo" emblem black? If not then you should definitely get that blacked out to complete things. I've got one if you're interested. I took it off because I didn't like the way it looked on mine. Disappears on Cobalt Blue but would look really good on your Guards Red.
