just got my car back from FVMC. i got the following done...
-new engine mounts
-RTD brace
-BWR sway bar
-AP racing brakes
-titan QR steering rack
-carbon fiber canards
-carbon fiber side skirts
-carbon fiber louvers
-gas cover and diffuser supports painted black
-removable steering wheel
-fire extinguisher
-harness bar
-4 pt. harnesses
-reverie carbon fiber seats, musulanne and XC

i love what i got done, the seats and harness feel like they give me alot more control of the car. when im strapped in, i can't even lean forward and close the door. i do not move at all in the seat, but it actually hurts to get in now. but im young, so it doesn't bother me. ingress is much easier with the steering wheel off too. the brakes are a little better, i used to have the ultradiscs with steel brake lines. the car is now extremely stable at 100 mph+. the canards, GUT fender, louvers, side skirts, wing, diffuser, and front lip all work great together.i can't really notice the sway bar or the RTD brace. the engine mounts make the shifting alot better. although there is alot more rattling and noise now in the cabin. it doesn't bother me that much , its the worst when your coasting in neutral. i can notice the rack a little bit, it is even better handling. but i notice that i don't have as good of a turning radius. i couldn't even make a u-turn today, i had to back up. all together though, i love what i have done. great work TJ!
