PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
JDM Headlights

A spec body kit
Mugen wing? hehe :p
Rv6 Jpipe

Tein coilovers or anything better
still debating on whether getting 19 or 20 inch wheels/tires

Carbon has Rohanas, but I forget the model. They look good.

Good work so far.

I'll have to check out carbon then and see which ones he's using and oh right you did say that lol. They seem small because there still like a 2 finger gap between the tire and wheel well and prob because no real off set. I'm running 18x8 at the moment but I plan on going 19x9.5 so I have a bigger tire and hopefully a slightly better ride than I would if I went 20

Good luck on locating a Mugen rear spoiler in this country. King Motorsports has zero KB1 parts here as of 2 weeks ago.

I don't think its even that. The RL stock tire size is very beefy. It may have something to do with the small spokes, but the gap doesn't even exist in the second pic.

There are completely new skirts. If you had front mud flaps, that would be an issue. I think you are going to have to lose the rear ones for the rear spoiler.
