Sunset pics!!!! Shot after Auto Gallery Car Show once everybody cleared out. We were cleaning up the lot and the sunset was looking quite perfect for a few quick shots.

Pictures taken by Mike Nguyen. Talented mofo!

Kind of back tracking on this one, but wanted to post some parts update stuff!

Right after WekFest LA, I installed my Rotora BBK. 4 pot caliper, 330mm drilled and slotted disc. Classic Rotora red. Wasnt sure how i would like the red caliper on the current color of the car.. but once installed I really liked the contrast against the chrome and paint.




In this shot you can get a good look at the front wheel fit. Fender directly on barrel. The Red BBK also seems to always be splashing color on the front lips.i like it.

Been on the hunt for a full catback exhaust for a while, ended up settling on the APEXi WS2 setup. Really wanted a brand new ATLP.. but i turly dont know when the group buy will fill up. APEXi has an excellent reputation and only produces quality parts, so i wasnt really settling for less, jus something slightly more common.

Muffler is really starting to resonate, car sounds better everytime i drive it. Nice low, deep tone.









I have made up my mind that these will end up being a one-off exhaust, im having the tips extended to reach past the Wings West rear lip, too tucked currently.

So an OG member of Acurazine contacted me recently and imformed me he still had his wood wheel for sale and was wondering if i was interested.
FUCK YEA IM INTERESTED! haha So finally i got my hands on a brown wood wheel, so stoked, seriously love this addition to the interior.

And yes i currently have the black wood trim, but doing a full swap to brown wood trim in a few weeks.

Damn.
I love the idea to swapping to the brown. Are you doing that just to switch it up? Don't think I have seen that combo.

Im stoked on it. The brown wood wheel really pushed the swap, but in all reality i want something that will "pop" against the black suede. should see it in a few weeks.

Interior! Man i have been really lagging on posting up a pic of the suede doors/headliner/console. Well i finally got a good shot of the doors!








You can also clearly see the new brown wood style trim which replaced the original black marble style trim. It really brings out the suede on the doors and the brown wood pops so much more on black.








The new wood wheel installed looks great with the matching trim as well.








Got this beautiful VIP passenger table thanks to James @ VIPDOUT.com, was in the process of installing it..







While i was installing the tray i had the glove box out, i figured I'd change the cabin air filter.. the old one was disgusting..




Old and New:






Couldnt get a great shot of the headliner.. so no pic for that! Have some more additions to post, should be posting later today!

Have you considered doing the calipers a different color? I know you can't really see them behind the wheels but when you do, the red doesn't really flow with the rest of the car

The only two piston read calipers I have seen are the ones that rotora makes. I haven't been able to find anything else that will work as of yet
