I just received the M7 scoop from a fellow NAM'er. I will post picks of it on my 03 IB/W COOPER w/CF hood! Since I have no IC on my car this scoop is not functional for what it was intended for. BUT, do not flame me since I do have good reasons for doing so. I think it looks purdy and I like the STi look.

Thanks Wes! That is indeed quite a delta at 22.8". I don't think I'll go smaller than the 23.3" that I currently have, primarily due to acceptable wheel gap concerns. I'll eventually go with the '05/'06 gearning anyways, and coupled with these smaller tires, it should be a hoot! I have Volk CE28Ns (16x7), weighing-in at 10.75 lbs each 
. I might try more rubber like yourself in the future though...
