Looking good! Especially the strakes. (I don't think the 8 looks finished without the strakes on the fender vents.)

I would do the calipers in red. (But what do I know, my whole 8 is red.)

I have been bashed for this previously...the strakes, if you are going to have them, need to be level with the ground, not pointing at the front wheels.

Apart from that, I dont mind the wheels, but you need to lower it.

No front air dam. Go with a body kit.

He's a decepticon!

Option 1
If you are going with the MS front end make sure you have enough for some sides (maybe the oem sides)

Option 2
Go with the apperance package, ditch the factory spoiler and get a lip spoiler like the one I have on my car.

I would paint the calipers either black or silver(silver preferably), subtle but effective.

Option 3
I had S-techs with Tokico D-spec shocks and cables for the rear that I'm selling. I got coilovers on my car now, so if you're interested let me know.

Congrats on the car, looking good and keep us posted on the progress.

I'd also suggest painting calipers black or silver but not red on a silver 8.
