Thanks! I've added red Origin8 grips to the bar ends, a couple "anodized" red SS water bottles and a Cygolite Dash 320 instead of the cheapy Cateye headlight, though I'm going to return the Cygolite. It's just not bright enough for my liking and the battery life isn't the best. If it had a base that it could be removed from, that would help, but the whole light/base/rubber strap is all one unit.
I'm new to riding, but I've already put on 55 miles since last Saturday (3/28). Not sure if that's above or below average for a newb, but I'm satisfied so far! The weather has been hit and miss here, i.e. below freezing, thunderstorms, etc. so I missed a couple days this week. Thinking some low profile fenders will be my next purchase after I figure out what headlight to get.
Edit: Oh yeah, and I pulled the two spacers (5mm and 10mm) out from the stem and dropped the handlebars to the bottom, then put a 10mm red CF spacer on top. Not for weight reduction though, just another accent piece I got for a few bucks on ebay. Since I wanted to lower the bars anyway, I figured why not give it some color!

Yep I would love to see more pics.
Can I make some specific requests?
I would like some shots showing what the top of the top tube looks like and from the rear what the seat stays look like as they join up to the seat.
Also shots of the crank from a variety of angles, as well as shots of your gear change indicators and brake levers etc.

I much prefer the look the seat stay bridge provides.
