Looks good man. I think you should paint the black moldings and spoiler to match the car though. IMO it will improve how it looks 100%. But your car definitely looks good.

EDIT: To me, that price is crazy. But apparently, people are willing to pay it. I guess I would just make a horrible businessman.

Vert wheels are best 15" stock
lightest, BBS quality, and I also am a fan of the Basket Weave look which is also the S5 TII basic design.
Painting the spoiler and side moldings would update the look. But, for now the black spoiler and side moldings tie together by themselves. Painting would look better, as- is is good enough.
Center caps, they cost $80 new and around $50 each at Hub Cap Annies or the like. E-bay is your best bet
Nice job.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I am thinking about painting it..I have a buddy I work with that has a paint booth. He told me if I buy the materials, He would let me spray my car..He would also help me fix a couple of door dings I have in it..I am interested in the Miata Silver color that the fellow left in the above statements..If you can can you get me a paint code for that color. I am gonna try to go and find a car with that color on it.. I do want to go back silver. Painting the side molding's is that a good Idea. Wouldn't they crack if you painted them..Also I would like to find a GTU spoiler and install it when I get it painted...Well I love my 7 and thanks again for the info..

I've never heard of the side moldings cracking when painted. All the S5s have them painted along with many many other cars. Oh and you could also try painting it the silver of FDs. Thats what I plan to use on my car eventually.

Ha ha, drunken Kenny Rogers 
Those BBS wheels look great on a silver car. 15's seem small these days. Get some drop springs and you're set. Post more pics as you go along.

I am going with Gslse wheels for my 4 lug NA because they are even lighter than the phone dial 14's at an even 14 pounds each.
