+1.

It sounds to me that they are achieving their stated goal with the release of the Performance Catalog - which surely will get more and more parts as time goes by.

A few years from now, say 1-2 years before the end of the model run, they may come out with a factory tii model, similar to the ZHP package on the E46 cars (2 years before end of production).

So I guess buying now and picking & choosing from the perf catalog is still a viable strategy. After all, what good will it do to install CF mirror caps??? Save 30g per side???
