I was really surprised on how fast spoilerdepot handeled the transaction. Spoiler was very easy to install. As far as the custom paint on the engine cover goes, a local paint shop did it.

Some red Brake Calipers would look real nice on your black car. Any photoshoppers around??



Nice Ride by the way

Love your wheels!! Same style as the RH Z5000, except it's six spoke. Are the pretty light?? Because I'm back in the market again for some new rims.. looking for light ones for the track this summer.

They are about 21 lbs each i believe. I know they are lighter then the stock for sure. Thank you for the compliments guys. It reassures me that i am doing good things with this vehicle. Yeah i wanted to paint the calipers, but my friend painted his and he's dealer refused to change them when they were warpped.
Let me see, red, silver or black calipers. what do you guys think.

BTW, gonna get 35% all around except for front windshield tints next weekend. That would be even better.

Awesome, the sumitomos enhance the car so much. The handeling, grip, turning are all amazingly good. Especially with the sways.

I painted mine black to make the wheel stand out more than the caliper

Thanks for the pic, it looks really nice. Great Job. Oh yeah thats not body damage but reflection of another car.

Damn, i wish i can lower my car. Well i am asking this question again.

Does anyone know if wheel offset 42 with 235/40/18 tires will rub with the h&r oe springs. This will lower the car 1 inch both in front and back. Anybody. thank you.

I noticed that too, but I think it’s an illusion from the water there
