You are the perfect person to test fit some items for us. Mirrors, headlights, fogs, etc.

Oh...
I believe you got Taupe leather. I didn't believe the wood trim part...

Why would you get taupe if the carbon fibre is black?
Clash?

Well I remember seeing the Taupe with wood and I was thinking if you put CF there it'd be sad I love taupe myself and I wanted my WDP with it but no go.

I will have to order that rear and front bumper too (New aspec) have you done that yet?

Yep, full A-spec body kit being installed tomorrow waiting to see if the suspension makes any difference,I can compare the two,

I believe if you check the new brochure the Taupe is available on all the type-S colors, they obviuosly refined things after the website went up
