Purple one: Awesome! Loving the SiR theme. 5 lug ITR's are sweet! More pics of rear and side please!
Red one: Going for the painted parts-contrasting-to-black-parts deal. Thats cool. Hard for me, personally, to dig that deal against red paint though. But, he's started it by buying the CF parts, so no turning back now. Pointless to paint CF. Things that would help "freshen" things up on this car:
(1) As someone mentioned, it's screaming for plastic conditioner! He's armor-all'd the skirts and trim too many times. The parts have now started to get chalky. There's only one good solution, besides replacing the parts: tell him to get this stuff:

He will need the entire kit, not just the one bottle. The kit comes with the cleaning solution. He'll need this to open up the pores of the plastic, so the dye will get in there. Also, this will remove the multiple coatings of greasy armor all that (in the long run) are actually making his parts look WORSE. Trust me, I've been there. This stuff is a DYE, not a temorary shiner. Research it, it's the best stuff on the market for making trim black...PERMANENTLY.
Also, tell him to use the Duplicolor black brake caliper kit for his front calipers and rear brake drum. All that rusted metal looks bad in contrastment to those shiny black advan rims. Just a thought.
Hope that helps!
