to be honest idk why people make such a big deal over an anthracite headliner. my brother in law has it - i don't...... I don't even notice the difference when we switch cars....once in a while I'll notice the A-pillars and that's just for a brief moment -

/end rant.

I notice the difference. The interior is a lot brighter. It's almost distracting compared to the black one. just my opinion though.

Yeah, it is way brighter. I totally forgot about the Anthracite headliner when I ordered mine. :slaps forehead:

consider that dupli color stuff you were talking about over at mu? Maybe not for the pillars, but the headliner?

yea, my ma was reading my order back to me and mentioned lightning blue. I was like, no, I want LASER blue. He said, "that's only available on the S". I do have to give him credit though, it was a phone-in order from across the country.

Nah. The duplicolor isn't cheap, and it would take a lot of it, and if I didn't like how it came out, I'd still be out the cost of a headliner. It's just not worth it to me.

did you have the stock 15x5.5 wheels before the BBS's?

how much did your handling/grip improve?

those are the RG-F 16x7 right?

I'm so jealous of those black web-spokes!! I wish that would have been an option when I bought mine.

Yes I have the 15x5.5 and a set of S lights.

I would say a good improvement. Any time you go from a all weather to a Extreme Performance Summer you see a big improvement. The biggest change came from the 19mm rear bar and H&R springs.

Yes they are BBS RG-F's 16x7. So light.

What size are the tires? Because that is sharp! I still like the look of 16s better, and planning on 215/50/16s on mine whenever I get to order my 2010.

your probably right, i have the sound upgrade so my a pillars would be different. im minus a sun roof so labor would be less intensive for me to do. i just may do it one day. it bugs me bc i forgot to include it too. it was only a 200 dollar option!!i forgot that and the lsd. :slaps forehead: haha
