Just purchased a black anadozied fuel door from SHR. Worst case scenario I can send it back and only lose the shipping $$. I pretty sure I'll keep it as I've seen it on Ray's car and liked how it looked. Only thing I might do is paint the screws black.
BTW-Found out CDC is selling the foot rest pedal now. Only problem is they want $83 for it..
I'm waiting to see the pics before deciding wether or not to get it.
Also speaking to Marcello he said the grille panel inserts,window switch plates and a/c ***** should be out before christmas hopefully. Looks like I'm going from no SHR goodies to tons of SHR goodies.
BTW-Just realized with the money I've spent on these "minor mods" in the past 2-3 weeks I could've got gears.

I'm running the stock 17's with +26,000 on them and man, talk about loss of traction as they have worn. I have noticed that as the weather has cooled down they have to be watched when applying power. I was in second and rolling at maybe 35 as I came around the sharp corner and floored it as I was going to work the other day. The rear tires broke traction and the car went sideways. I have taken this corner the same way many times and never had that happen before. So I guess that answers my question as to whether or not I'll stay the Pirellis… Not that I was really thinking of staying with them but this drops them from contention.
1. The tires will grip A LOT better.
2. He won't want to at $184+ per tire.

Take pics of the foot rest pedal once it's installed.
Just because you can't break them loose doesn't mean I can't. I've unleashed a few more ponies compared to yours.

I can't slide the rear-end around as much now and I have more horsepower than I did when I COULD slide the rear-end around.
The only difference? The tires...
And #2 is the main reason!

It's going to have to be the best looking foot pedal I've ever seen before I plop down $83 for it.

So Bill when are you ordering your whipple and a-arm support bar?
FYI-Steeda sells a a-arm support for the same price of the BMR except they call it a g-track bar. Here's the link.

Try paying $200+ for Nitto 555s..... and then trying to resist the temptation to burn them off occasionally, or even just to keep from going WOT in the first 3 gears.
Oh wait you guys only worry about WOT in 1st and maybe 2nd gear.....
