And for the design itself I've always loved 5-spoke on a sports car, and its a bit of a mind game but the "double" almost "stairs" effect with the lip is something I prefer.

Silver's always been one of my favorite FD colors.. I've always said the fluid shape + color make the car look like liquid aluminum.
