Introduction - new-to-me V8V

Hi guys, figured it's time to finally sign up here. I recently bought this 07 V8V, and have since switched back to the stock wheels, powder coated black. I'm really happy with the way it looks, and of course, love this car. Much nicer than the Elise I had before. Best of all, I was able to find a manual one (priority number 1 when I was considering getting one).

The car came with Kahn RS-V wheels, which are now for sale http://www.ebay.com/itm/161428557028?item=161428557028&viewitem=&vxp=mtr. I liked them, but the OEM wheels are more my style.

Your car looks much better with the OEM wheels. It has a very menacing look. Pretty awesome. Congrats.

Very cool in black, your wheel update looks great. Good choice on the manual transmission that's the only way I would go as well.

Congrats from a former Exige owner. I love the white tail lights.

Thanks everyone. I thought I was doing it right with the changes I've made so far. I did like the aggressive stance of the Kahn wheels, but in the end this just was a better fit for me.

Those were done by the previous owner, but I do like them on a black car. I honestly think they look nicer (more expensive?) than the red tails from that year. And I usually hate clear tail lights.
