Even though the after market options are somewhat limited for our cars. I love the fact that everyones car comes out so different despite the fact the differences can be subtle.

So many people say so many nice things about FVMC service.....it almost makes me want to buy another Elise, just so I can bring it in and have it worked on.

Car looks nice! One of the best dealers anywhere. The parts mgr, John Nichols, is nothing but a class act.

MNlotus, I saw your car a few weeks ago at the dealership. It looked awesome and the pictures don't do it justice. The carbon GUT wing was fantastic and the base with color matched really well.

Instead of the mod list, maybe you should have just listed what you didn't get installed.

Well you could have spent all that money on a sc to begin with. Your car would have 215rwhp by now...
