i tried a very tuned car from a reputable german firm and it was much more powerful but i am sure the gearchange was no way near as good as a standard black .
i have also had experience of my first black series going into limp mode after being modified .
very very interesting project .

Maybe it's just my screen, but don't the red accents (wheel star and pinstripe) look like a lighter, "pinkish" shade of red vs. the calipers?

I'd hazard a guess that the accents would probably look more "red" if it weren't for the "real red" calipers for contrast, drawing attention that the accents are more of a pinkish hue. As you mention, they look pretty close - you've seen it in person (I haven't) so it might be even more negligible than it appears here; not for me to say.

IMHO, black w/ red accents is menacing... while black w/ pink accents is... well, girly. But to each his/her own. Besides, as long as the owner likes the end result, who cares what anyone else thinks?
