Another options is it's time for some Ken King Bling. Have him do a custom job for ya. Somewhere along the lines of D&D midevil looking Sh_t if you know what I mean
Big money for very small performance gain, Barry. $3-4k plus for wheels/tyres and small performance gain. Interior leather, while it looks awesome, does not make me go or stop faster.

I know everyone loves the bling wheels in dub sizes, but they are so low on my totem pole that I may never get to them. Same goes for custom interior - although I love Ken King's creations

I honestly have no idea until I remove my HUD. I have a spare V1 Remote which I already dissected - so mating the two will prove to be an interesting exercise.

I noticed a lot of people using blowers and nitrous.....
You should try a twin turbo setup (if it's even possible) - it'll be something different....

It's very possible. There are several kits on the market. The best known is the LPE TTi

The STS twin turbo is on my short list of power adders right now. Who knows what direction I will eventually travel?

Stephen do some research, it's been done a few times, with a good write up.

Sell it. You've gone way too far with it anyway.

A week ago, someone posted in C5 General, an eBay link to some LED door handle lights and said it was the kind of thing I would buy.

Well, I hadn't seen that mod before - but now I have bought it and it looks way

See above....
