aluminum stem ---> carbon stem
4iiis single-sided power meter ---> Garmin dual-sided SPD
Bontrager Foray shoes ---> Shimano XC7 (in red because they match my bike)
stock paint job ---> custom paint job
stock boat anchor Affinity wheels ---> Aeolus RSL 51 wheels
Shimano 105 ---> Ultegra Di2
stock Arvada comp saddle w/ steel rails (actually pretty comfy) ---> Verse Pro w/ carbon rails

Current additions I REALLY love are the power meter, aero bars, and bike computer. These are things that would enhance any bike I own. And I'd take a cheap bike with these over an expensive bike without them any day of the week.
Hope it arrives as well. I love my Domane SLR7 and I also have those XC7 shoes, but in black, and I use with my Time ATAX XC pedals, love them...Nice shoes. See you went big on the wheels...I stuck with the Pro3v for now....I might move up later though. I also have the verse saddle in 135mm, very comfy saddle for me, I put them on 2 other bikes.
