For the wheels, those Monarchs look great...especially with the huge rear lip. Since you have mentioned that a set of nice forged wheels are 6k I would certainly disagree. You could get a very good quality AGIO setup or DPE setup for around 3k. If you are on the budget, then Monarch is one of the best choices you can make, but it looks like you are not on that tight of a budget, so I would go with a nice set of lighter 2-piece wheels.
Also, your Hamann lip blends with road color. You practically can't see it is there. I have the same lip painted white and it stands ut much more and makes the car look lower in the front and more aggressive. Check it out:

Thank you
Do appreciate your feedback since I've seen PICs of your car on the forum on few occasions and I like how it looks a LOT
(except for the the tow hook bling bling) and helped me on my decision to go with H-Type front lip spoiler. Originally I was thinking to paint it white, but after installing it as is, I liked the contrast it gave to AW and I don't think the cheap camera captures it well compare to in life. However I'll keep your recommendation in mind and if I get bored of the current CF contrast will paint it in AW next spring
.
My $6K comment was in reference to Tires+DD Wheels+Lug Nuts+Shipping+Canadian Taxes at the Customs+ Exchange rate of US to CDN in Mar 2009. If you do the math it's around $6K Canadian. You're correct I wasn't on the tight budget but didn't want to spend over $15K CDN in MODs (Parts+Install) on the brand new car in 6 month after purchasing it.
Since you mentioned I could get a very good quality DPE Wheels for around 3k. I interpret it as $2,900-$3,100 US shipped to Canada. I would love for you to set me up in the price range with S20's

Again thank you for your input as I have a lot of
when it comes from some one who has done an excellent work on their car
