Sweet shots! They came out real nice! Blackout trim and grill FTW! 
Those WedSports look awesome! If only they came in bronze.
I guess the slanguage "Hella" is nationwide now? Not just limited to Nor-Cal, heheh. That's hella cool!

i posted a poll thread about powdercoating em. my choices were bronze, black, and leave em. i got a lot of responses to try either color, but the majority thought i should leave them.i think i'll wait to powdercoat until i really get the wheel-change bug.

ahh Ruffell, Your ride is as sweet as always. Too bad I can't see it anymore whenever I drive home from work hehe.
Your pictures are really pro. I wish I have that kind of camera skills. They seem to be infested with the modbug virus (which I was cured of by winter)... oh man... it's really getting to me...

long story short, there's a vendor here on the boards that sells milled (shaved down) keys that you can have cut and programmed at a locksmith. the key cost me 90 bucks i think, and the cutting/programming at a local locksmith was 50

Love your car and the pics
I had my grille with the blackout tape like that before I got the Mugen grille. I also wanted to get those wheels but they don't make them anymore.

Awesome car and pics, ruffellprefley! And thanks for sharing the super hi-rez on flickr -- they'll make for some nic desktop pics.
I'm curious how difficult it was to apply the blackout tape. I did it to a couple of my cars years ago and swore I'd never do it again. But it looks hot on the CGP, so I'm tempted. Did you remove the grill or any of the trim in the process? Thanks.

I love those wheels. Were going to get some for my car but they don't fit. Nice pics. Looks like somewhere around of the Hawthorne bridge. I used to park on that side and walk across the bridge into downtown for work. I miss those times!

just gotta take your time with the blackout tape... i didn't remove anything on the grille or window trim to do it, but since the "chrome" pieces do come out of the grille, if you wanted to be more thorough then you could take them off to tape them up.
