Your goal should be very easy to meet if you're already at ~420HP. Any plans on subtle exterior mods to accent the blue of the car? A couple black accents, like the roof, or certain door trim can do wonders while still keeping the car "stock".
Generally speaking, an AOS will not ADD horsepower. The primariy benefit of an AOS is that it makes your car run safer, and extend the life of your engine. It mainly helps/aids with turbo'd cars when pushing higher levels of boost, as you start to encounter more oiling problems going from vacuum to high boost. Although its one of those mods that I always recommend, regardless of the engine, if the car doesn't come with one from the factory.

Get this thing installed today at EAS. In order to install it, we need to cut the engine cover to fit. take about 45min to install, looks pretty good. Just hope if RR racing could polish the edge of that steel plate, so it won't be so sharp.

For cosmetics, I might thinking about Toms kit and wrap all the interior plastic pieces with nappa leather. For me I don't like those color wrap on paint, I prefer the car looks how it should be, look nice but never pop up on street.

Yeah, this thing doesn't makes power, just reduce the detonation when car is aggressive driving or on the track, I had the oiling problem for my previous 750Li which makes 600HP, oil goes to the turbo and that is a bad thing. So for such a 200$ mods, it is good for our cars and there is no reason to refuse installing it.

installed the APEXI N1 EVO muffler today, but in my idea, it is too loud, so I go back stock, anyone want that exhaust please contact me. Good deal

Pole Position
IMHO the Apexi system (from what I could tell on the video) sounded great. Too bad it was too loud for your tastes. If only someone would come up with a dual-mode system....

+1 on that steering wheel!
Do you notice any issues with the steering wheel not coming back fully and properly centered after releasing it with your hands after a turn? I have read that some of the flat-bottomed sport steering wheels in the ISF forum would do that (not come back fully centered).
Keep us posted on your build.
