bobesser Posted August 3, 2012 Report Posted August 3, 2012 Bought the car on 7/20, ordered Enkei RPF01 wheels with Bridgestone RE-11 tires on Monday, installed on Tuesday and practiced autocrossing at the school on 7/28. Car came with all the exterior JCW carbon fiber. I will probably black out the rest of the chrome soon. The white stripes are looking a bit tired too. I really like the flat black with red pin strip that 68WMCS has. Bob

SPORT MODE 4 LIFE I have a first gen '06 which is from before they made a sport button. But when I drive my husband's '09 I always use the sport button because it makes the steering feel more like my first gen's steering.
