I didn't expect black finish too since most of the EBCs are gold finish. I was surprise to get the black finish as well as the salesperson who got me the rotors. He said he never saw black finish too.

Wonder why they didn't sent black finish for the rears too... My rears are usual gold finish.

output is about the same but much more yellow and shines yellow than without the overlays. when it first turns on, color is intense green and gradually turns yellow. you should get one for your fogs too

wheel whore? me? no~
well... AMEs are my 4th set in two years so i can be a wheel whore, but they were affordable ($1200~$1400) except AME ($1812). there are others wheel whoring works, volks, bbs, etc...

maybe i'm settled on the AMEs. like the looks and lighter than stock wheel weight. thinking about polishing the face later on though

AEM V2 w/Dry Filter






Did you have to modify your V2 for fitment? AEM doesn't show a kit for the 07-08 Type S. If not what model did you use?

no modification is needed. space if very tight but it fits. i just shortened it for the p2r tb spacer though.

nice! that bar looks great. good work on the paint and bay, looks good. keep it up bro

does the bolt on the bar touch or push on the master cylinder? what about the covers? you have to trim them to fit around the brackets if you want to put them on right?

and you should know that this will be limited batch run. hurry and get on the line. it sure looks much better than oem bars for your show purposes

Do you mean that the spacer diameter is smaller than the diameter of the rotor hub and wheel mounting surface??

yea i think he's talking about that.
diameter of rotor hub > wheel hub > spacers
so yea it kinda looks like "burger"

but diameter of wheel hub and spacer is about the same

Update: ATLP ?






























2-14" Magnaflow and installation cost: $350

Install job was great. Everything aligns perfectly the way it should be. Although look is perfect, 2k rpm drone was a huge turn down. Anything above 2k rpm sounds good but gosh.. that 2k drone...
