Just curious, I drive a 2009 and interior is Saddle Brown. But much of the interior (bottom of the dashboard and non-leather portions of the door panels), which is not leather, is black. I thought all cars were like that, black and then the rest of the interior was the chosen color/material. Yours has little black at all, just the top of the dash. Is that because they changed in 2011? Or is it because it is not a leather trim?

The gray is alllll gray. Other colors (I think all other colors) have black mixed in. Oyster, saddle, and so on.

Yep the rear m sport bumper is something I'll eventually do. Otherwise I'm extremely pleased with it.

Okay...

So did you notice a difference? My last comment was sent too soon! I wanted to say "okay... now you're giving me a reason to waste more money"

How is the pedal feel and performance with the stainless lines?

I've decided to put them on March 28th. No point in doing them in the winter. Want to feel the full effect in better weather and with my summers going on just a bit after that.

When I had my suspension work done, the shop asked me if I wanted the stainless steel brake fluid lines too while they were at it. I said yes. No other changes to my brakes were made. I did not notice a change in pedal feel, but maybe others would. I can say that the brakes have worked very well at the track during HPDE events. I think the weakest link in the car now is probably the brakes, and they do not suffer at all during the little bit of tracking I have done, nor in the mountains out west.
