LOL-Zach, I've already got a J-pipe. I've never been interested in the exhaust, so I'm good to go!
MEKO, it's funny you say that. I have a left-over 1/2 sheet of 3M carbon fiber. Swoosh and I laid it on the roof of the Type S-just to see what it would look like. I would consider a carbon fiber roof!

Your car is definitely one of the best looking ASM type-S's that I have seen. I'm a huge fan of the blacked out tail lights, looks awesome. I have a NBP type-S and plan on painting my calipers either metallic silver or metallic blue.
Couple questions that I could probably search for and find,
What is the purpose of the spacers? Do they just push the wheels out further so the car has a wider appearance?
Where did you purchase the brembo letters? I checked eBay and Amazon but they are somewhat pricey.

Thanks JJH,
Yes, the spacers are just to "fill up the wheel well" and push the wheels/tire closer to the edge of the body of the car.
The Brembo lettering came from Rockstar-he had an extra set and gave them to me. But I think he got them from Ebay!

Tyler-you're right. But I talk to you guys, and it makes me want to do more!
Hopefully Anil and I will get together on Sunday to install the short ram and fix the LED's in the headlight.
