but....I actually like the chrome
.... *hides*. I am seriously thinking sport suspension as well. I know I will like it... but I am a little worried about my car becoming a snow plow in the winter.

hahah... I live in RI ... lots of snow here but I only drive when the roads are plowed with snow tires and never a problem... snow plowing with the car; hmm only in rare cases but hey the beni with the performance/sport package or lowered or sport suspension I think is huge.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB! Woohoo!
Speaking of car being lowered and the snowplow thing, etc. Today there was some raccoon roadkill in the center of the left lane with a car on the right and I couldn't avoid it so I had to go over it at about 55mph. I was so freaked out because it was a fat one and I was sure that I was going to clip it with my m5 bumper. I ran over him, looked in the mirror and noticed he wasn't as fat anymore. I then pulled over ASAP, looked at the front end and there was nothing. WHEW! I was panicked! =p I think I just gave the poor guy a little pancake action with my underbelly.
Putting your car on H&R sport springs has its challenges. But damn, it looks and handles great.
