LOVE IT!

The color combo and the interior are amaZing......but id have to say that that wheels are not that great. Id have gone with something less "chrome" and maybe gunmetal, brushed, or gloss black.

Anyways, you have great taste and the car overall is NIIICE!

BTW, whats different in the 07 roadster from the 06's????

I have found most performance exhausts to make only a few hp on the dyno but not enough to be noticeable behind the wheel. The factory exhaust on new vehicles is generally optimized for best rate of flow and scavenging. Changing to a larger diameter pipe can hurt performance as it reduces flow. Collectively with other mods it make a difference. But a performance exhaust has a visceral effect that is more than seat-of-the-pants, and can definitely be worth the cost.

I really like that stereo install, looks very clean. I'm not a fan of the wheels though, I feel 19 inchers look too tall for this car, maybe it's just cuase it's a 5 spoke. Otherwise, great ride. I was considering switching to an 07 ZR cause I want a convertible. I have an 03 Coupe 6MT Enthusiast for now.

I agree with Barmats on the exhaust. I don't notice a real difference in power behind the wheel. The sound and visual aspects alone, however, make it worth doing in my opinion. If I added a few hp...cool.

Fluid1 - First I respect your opinion. Everyone has their own taste(s). I have no issue with the fact that you don't like the car. However, please consider that 1)There are very few mods available yet for the 07s (particularly performance mods). For example, there are no cold air intake applications available yet, let alone turbos, etc. 2) The retail prices for all of my mods total almost $20K. This does not include any of the standard labor or custom fabrication (took 8 full shop days). So to pay $17K all in is NOT getting raped. I had some bids come in at $28K for the same work.
