I never suggested anything about improving resale value. I fully expect to sell the vehicle for less than 20 grand in a couple of years, regardless of how it's been configured.

Perhaps it is just me, but the whole 'earn enough points and you can get the badge' is a bit of a turnoff, a kind of manufactured exclusivity. This isn't an Alpine, or a RUF, where it has been fully re-engineered all of a piece; it is a batch of bolt-ons. Admittedly very nice, and designed to work well together, but to me this badge-earning thing is tacky. Reminds me of back in the day when some of the 'hot' JDM tuner houses would only release a few of the most expensive parts, and it was all part of the show-circuit exclusivity (I think Spoon did a lot of that).

True - and especially so if you happen to read these forums about the modifications some posters make and how hard they drive their cars!

I don't mind the plate frame, until I get s/t better. The stickers or stick-on placards should get somebody shot. They seem to be getting it lately, but used to be they would put them on everything.

I have it, didn't stick the badge on. I don't need to advertise what's under the hood. Just let folks wonder after they are passed. .
