Many kits will add weight because they extend farther or wider than the stock body pieces, though with boost it really does not matter.
Is the amuse kit even CF?

Greddy seems pretty damn expensive (when compared to Stillen, haven't checked out GTM, yet) already as it is, and then you have to add more parts on top of that, really hate that. Are the gains worth the squeeze (Greddy to Stillen/GTM)?

Negative to the CF look. Other CF meaning: trunk, doors, etc. Is there anything that does not REALLY need to be replaced (e.g. side view mirrors doesn't seem like a lot of weight, etc.)?

What are the typical wheel/tire sizes, front and rear?

DD. Option A, I'll take a look at B.
