Sorry guys! I have an freelance photographer set up for sometime soon. Gonna get some real pictures hopefully next weekend!

Just had a few things to button up. She's not ready to be shown completely. But don't worry I made some good progress today

Here's another little teaser.

Look at it this way, if there's ANY wobble in the rim, you won't have to worry about having to sand the caliper to prep for paint.

Thanks man, I am pretty picky, actually...love that finish against the NBP.

Had some time today and decided to give the old DGP a good wash and wax. She's finally ready for sale after 4 months.

Note the Type-S photo bombing in the background

Finished detailing one, now on to the next!

Time for an engine wash, interior detail and quick wax. DGP got the same treatment

Oh, and my window visors came in. So if there's enough sunlight I may feel inspired to throw those on too.

Hahaha! You two take it easy in my thread

I always LOVED window visors. I had a set color matched but ended up selling them cause I needed the money... I just sold those orange volks so I had a bit of expendable money and I decided to buy new ones again

Thanks guys!!! I agree, I'm not a huge fan of the whole black/black/black thing; and these wheels provide just enough contrast while still being dark!


Threw on the rear aspec lip finally...thank god it came out perfect. No sag, just like a nice pair of bewbs.

A-Spec sides will go on when I get my puddle lights in the mail too!
