Since there isn't one yet, I thought I'd start this thread off.
I recently traded up to a OB FE from a 2011 TB RA. As much as I loved my RA, the evo really is a huge step up performance wise. It's so much more stable and capable than the RA. With the Bilsteins, it's more comfortable too!
So far it's stock with a Greddy front lip and Blizzak WS80 winter tires but I do already have wheels and coilovers ready to install in the spring.
Is your OEM Aero Kit in diamond white pearl? I heard other people have wicked white color on their aero kit.
I was a little curious about this too. We have a white FE at the dealership near me still (thing just isn't selling), and the aero kit just doesn't look like it matches the car properly. I've only seen it indoors, but I'd imagine that it would be even more obvious in the sunlight if they are in fact different color whites.
It still looked nice, but it looked a little "off" to me.
Edit:
Here's a pic that I took of the white car at the dealership:

Unfortunately, we have had exactly 0 days with sunlight since I bought my FE in late November, and it's now on FlatStoppers in my garage waiting for spring/summer, so I don't have any good pictures of my car.
With that said, here's my FE ( US #104 ) right before I washed her for her winter nap:

Nice! So you haven't driven it at all since you got it? What is your winter beater?

I've driven it, but not much! I bought the beater car about a week after buying the Evo, and I've hardly driven it since then (we did have a few nice days right around Xmas and I ended up driving around for a few hours trying to put some "break in" miles on it).
As she sits right now, there are 503 miles on it, but my plan is to put somewhere between 1k-1,500 before I take it past 5k rpm.
As far as the beater car... I found an 03 Sebring LXI with only 60k miles on it that I picked up for $2,000. Decent enough car I guess, but I really don't like driving it all that much (it's the first automatic I've had since buying my first car), and I can't wait for nice weather to get back in the Evo!
The winter will give me a good chance to get my hands on Recaros, and order a few other things for it though, so I guess it's not that bad. Plus, I'm keeping the winter wear and tear off it, so the car should be in great shape many years down the road!
