Amen...I'm all about tastefulness. I want something contemporary looking without clashing with the retro styling...something subtle, but noticeable.

From my perspective, if you can find a decent balance, you can have something a little unique without looking like a "Fast and the Furious" wannabe. Anyway, body kits are one of those personal choice decisions to make.

Exactly.

The carbon fiber fenders can shave a few pounds. Don't expect dramatic results, but they can add to a cumulative effect assuming you are tempted to later migrate to a cabon fiber hood and carbon fiber trunk.

Seibon does, in fact, make carbon fiber doors, trunk lids, and hoods (Roush makes hoods too). That would be a nice weight savings for sure...and since I'm leaning towards staying naturally aspirated, all the weight saving can help.

I'll wait to see what OEM will cost before I make any choice.
