I was kinda forced into getting the c/f dashkit. Reason being, I damaged a part of the plastic surrounding the shifter when installing the short shifter. So instead of relpacing the part, or even getting the oem silver kit (too much silver IMHO), I opted to go w/ the c/f. I know, alot of you will call it ricey and cheezy, etc. etc. but its better that looking at the damage I did from the short shifter install. I honestly kinda get used to it myself. Hey but somebody had to do it, might as well be me.

Yes, I ordered the MT pedals from Ultimatepedals.com. The 4 pc, non slip kit. After doing alot of searching, I learned that the JDM Euro R pedals won't fit, due to the Gas Pedal. BoomPlusToys and AJR told me because of the RHS and LHS driver issue. The JDM gas pedal brackets won't fit. Sooo the set from Ultimatepedals was the next best alternative...

I got the rotors off of Ebay, seller's name is ccrotorwork. Got more for looks than anything. Because my wheels just about show everything, I felt it was needed. Plus I couldn't see myself spending $1300+ bucks on a big brake kit that I wasn't going to use to its full potential.

Rotors look good and are very good quality. The seller offers a warranty against cracking or warping. He has a very good feedback rating, so I went with him.

hey mods, off topic, but can you setup a profile system where we can do a small profile of our car so we can list all our mods? I know JTso's list has already gotten too long to list, jvjave's is already there too... hopefully mine will be too one day

i do, but car domain is being gay and it won't open my picture, i'll post it tommorow.

out of a set of 20, four lugnuts are locks, they are seven sided (as opposed to six sided), and also have a groove that the key goes into, and nope, not every volk key will work for any volk wheel lock. me and my friend tried =)
