Thanks Randy. I just got an e-mail from Peter telling me the same thing. I asked him if there was any possibility to have a set made from CF without the winglets. The black powder-coat aluminum would clash with all the CF I have on the car.

To be honest my first plan was to go with CF but I actually came to the conclusion that the semi satin aluminum blended better with the lower pieces on my car. If I had body color aero side pieces I would have gone for CF.

Peter and I have been e-mailing for the past several minutes. He said when he gets back from having his surgery, he is going to talk to the CF guys and see if the can cover the splitters in CF for me and for how much. He said it may take a couple weeks to find out. I hope the guys can do this. I guess I will find out in a couple weeks. I am also excited about the CF canards.

It wasn't today, but about a week ago. I got a set of winter tires and wheels. Now my car is squirrely on grooved highways. And we probably won't have another snow storm this year...

Grooved highways are my pet peeve. I have to drive about two miles on one to get home and I hate it. Got to be hard on tires and alignment.

I got similar tires on mine, and yes it is more squirrely, but it is now FUN in the snow. I have me a convertible snow-mo-shen!

It was lastnight, rather than today, but I just installed the Alta AP I got from another member, on my car.....I am beyond pleased with the results and the mod bug has, I think, been sated for another year.....hopefully.

I installed a bonnet graphic. The roof portion came in black, I ordered white. I have to wait for the correct one. This set took a month so I figure I got a wait...
