Very nice! Have you put any wheels wax or anything on them to keep the brake dust from sticking?

Not entirely a fan of the CF fuel door but DAMN!

The white-on-blue wheels make up for it

Yea, the sun was shining directly at it. ABP actually looks a bit darker most of the time. White is definitely going to require extra care, but I'll manage

thx...might get spacers next year..perhaps 10mm or so...but will definitely require rolling fenders

Thx...I have some front shots as well, but w/out a-spec, it looks incomplete

I wanted to go lower on the offset, but didn't want to deal with fender rolling at this time. Even with the current offset, if I dropped the car just a bit more, the fender would tear up my tires. I might roll the fenders next year and install some spacers.

Thx. CF gas door was an experiment. I can always take it off.

Thx. I was thinking of applying Armor All wheel barrier, but didn't know how well it works. I just use a wheel cleaner with wax, and it seems to work ok

wow, that's awesome. great find bro . it's very very similar indeed. however, a few differences:

vc123: rbp, a-apec kit, Emotion CR-Kai, 18x9.5+38, 18x8.5+30, 235/40r and 225/40f

Me: abp, stock(no a-spec), Emotion CR-Ultimate, 18x9.5 all around (+30,+38), 225/40 all around

I love how the a-spec kit completes the look of the car. Very impressive. Thx for sharing the links
