I’d assume lambo doors are on the to-do list

I think the hood would look decent if it was painted & maybe the vents were a matte black. But the blue engine bay lighting is a hard no for me too.

Thanks for your honest opinion.
You don't like the LED lightning or the entire build-up?

Many guys like it, but I understand it is not everyones taste.

I spend a good amount of money and time building up this car.
I sell carbon fiber parts and want to show customers what is available.

Thanks!

The light can be changed to 8 different colors and can be turned off.

I appreciate your opinion.

Thanks

Had KW v3 installed yesterday, kept ride height stock, KW recommended settings from factory. I'm very happy with this so far, may tweak it after I try it out for a bit but so far so good. Car should come like this stock.

You can keep it full ride height with the KWs? How does the car feel at freeway speeds with the KWs? More stable?

Yes, much more stable. Doesn't get jittery/nervous when hitting expansion joints, etc. With the terrible roads around here, it makes a tremendous difference in confidence, I'm actually finding myself driving much more aggressively now lol.

ah fuck, now after hearing this opinion from a couple sources I think I may have to make this purchase...

At full height is it lowered at all compared to stock?

No, they were able to set it exactly to stock height.

did the seat backs end up fitting? i dont see them listed for f97 but they look like they should fit. only thing i dont love is the white stitching. my seats and interior have yellow stitching.

Question, you are saying with the KW it keeps stock height, is more compliant over rough pavement, and handles better?

No down sides or compromises?

Not that I've experienced thus far. Handling is flat, damping/compliance much improved. That said, suspension feel is totally subjective, I would highly recommend getting a ride in a car w the kw before plunking down the cash.
