That's one sexy FPR. Hey man I tried sending you a PM but your inbox is full, ill post it here and hopefully you respond.

I need to know what size and offset your rims are and what size tire. Im getting new rims and I think you have the same size Im buying, 18x8, and your tires look like the perfect size. I need to get a size tire for that rim that will stretch just a little, like yours. Im planning on dropping my car about another inch and tucking atleast the top of the tire. So that little bit of stretch will be great. Thanx.

PiZauL, Your paint is perfect!

If I remember reading correctly, you started with a salvage vehicle too right?

Where and how much did you pay for your paint job? Did you do most of the work yourself? Just a few questions, I remember your car from the early beginnings.

His exhaust system sounds great, it's got a real nice purr when idling and a nice growl when on the gas. I heard it in person when I met up with him in MD.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Unfortunately I can't really go any lower, although I should have for the show. I can't drive around here that low, unless I have a beater.

Tampa TL- Sorry for missing your PM. I believe they are 225/40/18

WillrunifChased- My dads friend re-painted the car for me, so its not exactly color matched to the OEM color. He brightened it up a bit. But other than that we did a good amount of body work to it.

Razzi- Could be lower, but i'm already having trouble getting to some places lol

Napsoner- Its a AV6 Catback Magnaflow Exhaust (2inch extension). Took some work to get it aligned perfectly with the WW lip.
Here is a vid of how they sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY2ZNfHMicY

I applied meguiars scratch remover on the entire car, really made the paint bling. Also added some quick detail wax that my buddy had, not really sure what it was but its good shit.
