Thanks!
Hoping I'm not being redundant at this point but I just wanted to update this 2 star quality thread.
I'm staying abroad longer than imagined but the Ruf CTR2 rear bumper and 18x9/11 BBS LM wheels are being shipped back to Montreal this month.
So here's the final update for this thread for confirmed upgrades:
-Shaved trunk w/CF RS wing
-18x9/11 BBS LM wheels w/red centers
-Ruf CTR2 rear bumper
-White Speedo/Tach gauges
-Custom CF CGT seats

The only time I will touch the engine is if something blows. I am plenty satisfied with it as-is.
Even before I touch the engine the likely 'go' mods would be a SW chip and a LWF combo. No power increase but drive-wise the difference will definitely be felt.
After that I would consider a transmission re-gearing, which is said to make a world of a difference but is costly.
In the short term the only mods that will have an impact on the 'go' is a simple weight reduction. The seat upgrade will save a solid 100lb, and removing the sound system will help as well. Possibly a 4th lighter set of wheels and RS door cards are in the picture somewhere down the line as well.
That being said, although engine mods are not in mind at the moment, tranny mods/weight savings are the only things I am considering at the moment. And that will make me a solid $20k poorer as well.

Thanks!
The LM will be very aggressive, hopefully they will fit well. A small tire stretch is needed so I probably won't run them daily.
Just ordered red/gold center caps for the RE. I won't run any caps on the LM.
I also got approval by Ruf to sport their hood badge, which is pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing them again this year at the Geneva Auto Salon.
Did a small photoshop to see the look with the rear bumper, aerokit sideskirts and wing installed on my car. The Ruf wheels will probably be run the least this year.
