As an update, I went ahead with the Aqua Blue GT2 despite my initial reservations. After researching the details further, it overall wasn't as big of a deal as I was making it out to be in my head.
Looking forward to getting it next week. Have a new set of pads coming for it and then off to the track we'll go to get some impressions of GT2 vs RS4.0.
Thanks for the input everyone, much appreciated!

Hi Vernor,
Great! Congratulations...you have a unique GT2..I doubt that there are many more in this colour and with the new PCM.
If the impact was only minor than its not so bad..the problem is that there are not many GT2s are around..so the chance of finding a one that matches to 100% your own wishes is slim.
We look forward to your impressions.
all the best,

Thank you. Supposedly it's the only Aqua Blue GT2 in the US. Can't confirm that, but I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if it were true.
Should arrive early next week. Have a few goodies on the way as well. Now just need to decide on some new wheels!

As of now, if I were to replace my wheels, I would only consider the BBS FI. Dark colors of course.

Vernor,
Glad you came to your senses. Aqua Blue is gorgeous and a 2009 model to boot. I think there were only 32 2009 models to come to the states. I have tracked a few high end cars and nothing comes close to the handling, and acceleration out of turns and on the straits to my 2. Obviously mine has a few mods.
Looking forward to hear your impressions compared to your 4.0.
Let me know if you want some contacts for a good shop to get your mods.
Congrats.

Any recommendations on where I can find some of those lovely BBS FI wheels? Agreed, dark color preferred.
