The grill doesn't have any of the double sided tape in use yet, so it's only held in place by the hood latch, I've yet to attach it due to the fact that I'll be taking it off soon for the cut/buff

So I've been considering switching up the brembo and wheel color, either gold brembos with purple letters and magnesium blue wheels, or purple bremboes with gold letters and gold/bronze wheels. Lug nuts will be neochrome, purple, or Ti, also picked up some APR and Carbon Creations goodies, just can't stay away from the CF :) pics coming soon.

What about a matte copper...I think it would play off the colors in the taillights from sideview

The bronze is bangin, but I like the silver the best.

I think black looks great, goes well with partial parts of carbon fiber on your car and will look good with the gold brembos. That bronze looks good too but the brembos would have to be purple.

White wheels > *

Bronze!

White wheels would stand out for sure

Got them installed, Andy made me some custom front adjustable endlinks, took us 8 hours to get old coils off, add a rear camber kit, install the new coils, retap about 3 holes, replace countless snapped hardend bolts that had rusted themselves into becoming one with the suspension arms lol, corner balanced the car, set a rudimentary alignment,. All that's left is to replace a bushing in the rear, tweak the ride height and and adjust the cornerbalancing a bit to compensate for the change in ride height, and do a final alignment.
Very long night, but super productive, as far as the coils go, AMAZING. So smooth! on full soft, it feels like a luxury car. Middle stiffness setting, it's perfect for track days, and this is with 8K 10K spring rates, I couldn't be more happy. Blows any coilover I've ever ridden on in any car other than maybe a set of Ohlins in terms of ride quality while simultaneously providing way better handling than the megans ever did. I LOVE THEM and would strongly recommend them to any 8G/3G owner.
