    I wasn't thinking that you were that close to pulling the trigger when we were messaging back and forth the other night! Looks like you got LRW's more powerful sibling. I bet a CR/S checkerboard roof would be unique.

    Nice new ride and I agree with you on the chrome scoop. That has to go.

    Remember chrome does not get you home. Just ask any Harley guy on the side of the road. :rolleyes5::lol::lol::lol:

    HarHar! Yep; an R53 check-mate edition is high on the list of 'needs' when I have a new home (fingers crossed for a buyer sometime this year); and a garage... I'll begin the r53 search anew. Driving 400+miles a week and the r53 thirst just don't compute...

    As for the mods; I'll add them to the list. Is an oil catch can something to consider? I seem to see a lot of S drivers mentioning that? (No idea what it does; but yea)

    Rob, nice Clubby! What do you want to change... The hood scoop or the silver?

    The chrome hood scoop. Wasn't sure what kinda job that would be. No rush; but not sure I'm a fan of the chrome.

    Also; may swap out the 17" rims for 16" (can't decide that yet either;just look huge to my eye); and next to decide what to add vinyl-wise to make her unique. And to figure out what are the S-mods I should start looking into (catch can?)

    Hey Robb cool beans.:Thumbsup: Yep LRW rides again, with boost! Checkered roof would look pretty cool & after all that's your family crest isn't it. Looking forward to seeing it in person, along with its family.

    Am I right in thing since clubster production is ending you wanted to snap one up before all the speculators got them? :D

    Robb, I have a set of R84s [16" v-spokes] I am not using and the wife likes her 17s. I was going to put snows on them for her, but she doesn't like winter driving and leaves that up to me since my S has snows. So, if you are interested, let me know. They have Kumho ASX all seasons on them right now [215-50-16], used, but not totally gone yet. I'm not interested in a trade, though. You're welcome to come over for a looksee. The hubcaps are also included.

    I may be interested in those wheels, if Robb is not.
    I need a winter set for my wife's car.

    You're gonna have to fight the donut king, Crashton, first, if Robb doesn't want them.:devil: Crashton still has that "need for speed"!

    Yep; there will be some checkers coming (family-crest as it was stated!). Just trying to visualize. I'm sure something will be on by the dragon!
