That's where I'm at as well. I like the CF parts, adding bonus poser points i guess, but utility may be lacking for the Atom. The weight savings over the standard panels can't be much. I like the CF look, but I am not sure how the finish will wear as compared to using touch up paint if necessary on the standard panels. I don't want to drop a ton of cash on the CF parts only to have the finish get torn up and look mediocre.
The dry sump has actual utility, but may be a tad overpriced for the benefits compared to possibly doing an aftermarket baffled option, if available.
Now, for the Koni's, how are you justifying the $1k bump? What are the benefits?
