Frigin SICK!! bro 
(2) little things tho, chrm valve stems/caps sticking out like a sore thumb (gotta satin blk 'em) then maybe your pref & you wanted them mounted this way but the quad tips are too far recessed into bumper, they need to stick out another 1/2" JMYOP.
Lastly what did you decide on trunk? you got all those amps in spot where the future IC Reservoir Tank/pump go? it's a must on VRP825 kit... I'm having Evosport install that part in 3 wks, it takes up the entire storage area under carpet (My SL actually came w/spare/whl-tire tools/roadside tire inflator machine in that spot, not anymore
)

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
How about plain old black rubber valve stems?
And as long as you mentioned it, Porsche makes a door key hole cover(chrome key hole on door handle) Which is a plastic, paintable plug with post that inserts in the key hole and blanks out the chrome. Can be painted any car color.
