Matte black wheels look way better. I'm interested in your thoughts m the LG coilovers once you try them out.

Getting close! and both of the HRE's look awesome. I think I'd go with the 540's.

Sorry I have been busy!

New pictures added to post 3

Well, we blew out the clutch on the dyno (I know, you guys told me so!), needed to swap out the pulley (had the ls3 for some reason), restrictor plate (was 2.75" instead of 2.5"), and relocate the IAT sensor. I hope we will be tuning soon enough...

I was going to go Mantic, but felt more comfortable long term with the RPS

Twin carbon is fine. It will hold but it's really grabby and some people don't like how high it releases on the vette's but ECS sells a pedal stop if you feel you need it. My biggest issues would be if you plan on exceeding the torque limit of the BC2 the 9000 would have been better.
