Great car...love the mods! My only nit pick is the caliper covers...you have beautiful true Brembo calipers under them so I would show them off rather than the covers which are really made to make generic OEM calipers look like Brembos...again, just my 2 cents. They are kind of like putting a Cindy Crawford mask on Cindy Crawford...
On edit: If your stock calipers are black or grey, I get why you went with the red covers. I think the red looks really good with the black wheels. I would just try to get the stock ones painted red so that you can sport stock red calipers.

Thanks for the feedback all.
Bingo... they're gray. Painted calipers never last and never look quite right. At least these are powder coated aluminum and if I get tired of the look, I can remove them without having calipers with crappy looking paint. Plus masking the letters would have been a pain. 
Oh, a speeder. LOL.
Truer words have never been written!
If your stock calipers are black or grey, I get why you went with the red covers.
Next time I drive by Woodbridge, Ill give you a wave. Sometimes on 95 you can get up to 25-30mph.
The upgrades doesnt end..
