My Humble Opinion is that Black or Grey look great with CF... Here is why...

It isn't that noticeable at first, but those that give a damn that you have CF will continue to look and become more and more interested. This is opposed to what I perceive the general public view point as "ricing it out." I am not claiming that CF looks bad on colored viehicles, but I think it looks hella clean on black or grey... Just my opinion. Good Luck with a decision. :)

Black Chrome or Dark (Hunter) Green Chrome. :thumbup:

I've actually been eyeballing the Rescue Green color of the new Jeeps. It's a weird "Gold banged Olive Green and made this" color. I think it would look good with CF accents.

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car. Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you're going when you hit the wall, and torque is how far you drag the wall with you.

With the money its going to cost to swap the engine and change all bumpers and skirts... Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a used srt-4? I'm not attacking you here because I'm battling the same dilemma...
