thanks to everybody for their positive replies...just makes my day! :o sorry the pix are not bigger, but i am going to post some more when i get my buddy to fix the problem.
the trunk lip spoiler is the value sports piece...i got it from snook, but it was not cheap at $700 unpainted! bigger than mugen, too big to some, but i think it's size is in perfect proportion to the car.
yup, thinking about getting some mufflers and making custom axle back pieces. maybe something dual polished tips with black bodies...brullen possibly.
you guys know what the mystery mod is already right? an intake plate that plays with resonance, or something like this since i have not fully read everything. maybe an upcoming mod?
the rims are part of the volk line from 1 or 2 years ago...it's the f-zero series called the kuwagata. there is a lip inside the spokes with a painted blue section and mirrored blocks...

I'm lovin the whole package... especially those wheels!
That inner blue lip looks so good (a nice subtle touch). How much do they weigh? I checked Volk's website but can't find them (as you mentioned they may be 1 or 2 years old). Is there major rubbing with only a 42 offset on 7.5"?
Damn... even though I've seen so many ABP TL-S', those wheels make your ride so unique. IMHO your ride looks perfect. Excellent taste all around.

thanks and much appreciated!
the volk site does have them listed
click here
the entire inner two-thirds of the wheel is painted blue outside and inside. the cap has a gold center. and those polished blocks. this is one nicely made wheel.
with about 1 index finger gap all the way around, i only rub at the rear driver wheel and only when i make right turns. kinda odd if you ask me. i think it is kinda related to the drop...this corner seems to be lower than the others though the gap is not really consistent from side to side. who knows. i'm glad it was not any worse because i know 7.5 with 42 is not the best spec to get, but these where GOTTA HAVE wheels!
i did not get a chance to weigh the rim by itself but they did seem light when i picked up the wheel in the showroom. it's forged so i doubt it's heavy. i'll see if i can take a weight of one wheel with tire.
btw, still working on the bigger images. maybe i can get my buddy to make some wallpapers now that you mention it.

it was $2800 for the setup. the pirellis do stick better than the stockers for sure. i was gonna get s03 (not available yet then) or t1s but that would have blown the budget...so i'm gonna ride these out and get better performance tires next time.

they have a shop your way...
San Francisco, c/o Japan Center
1737 Post St. #6 San Francisco, CA 94115
Tel
415)674-9871 / Fax415)674-9872 or check here first...

when i first bought these, they looked up the car in the catalog. the suggested dead pedal is way too small for that area so i went with the bigger pedal (still doesn't cover the entire area).
i wouldn't suggest getting the medium accelerator pedal unless you get the small brake pedal. the ones i have (small accelerator, big brake) are kinda close together...when i wear dress shoes i sometimes tap the brake pedal. this sometimes happen when i drive with the ball of my foot, but i usually drive with the toes touching the lower 1/3 of the accelerator. btw, i wear a size 10.5 shoe.
i suppose if you offset the brake pedal more towards the left, you will get better clearance. i choose to center the pedals.

kool, thanks! I know that shop.
I haven't been there for a long time, cuz I got ripped off for a pair of PIAA there once...had to pay $120 for a pair of SuperWhites, and needless to say, they ain't that great.
But I'll check them out again.
oh, and thanks for the tips.

Good to see your ride agan Stanman! Wow, still can't get over your VS spoiler (I've saw it when you posted a few months back). So you say the Mugen lip spoiler is too small? Hmm, how does the Mugen lip spoiler compare with the WW lip spoiler? Is Mugen bigger? Let me know if you have any ideas! Thanks! Saving up money now for something, but ouch! VS is so expensive!

btw, snook no longer sells the vs spoiler on his site so you might need the assistance of some tl members (unless you have your own source).
