Thanks, man...I had 19's before and I agree...I think what helps the 18's a lot is the machined edge since it helps visually define the absolute outer circumference in addition to the height of the car being low.

May I ask, what are a few things you DON'T like about your car? You seem to love everything!
Well Jeez, man! Thank you very much!

Honestly, I can answer that question easily...I do love everything on the car now because any and all the questionable mods I've done, over time I've either gotten tired of it or reverted. Spray painted grills and emblems, leds everywhere, signaling side markers...crazy blacked out tails...I go back and forth and if now, after 5 years, the stuff is on the car, it's literally exactly what made the cut for me visually and I love it.
That said, check back in a year and it'll likely look different




Tested the advan on the S and decided to rock the Aspecs for a bit...I still love how they look! I know I always say I don't care what anyone else has...but if I didn't see a billion other NBP with aspec wheels, I probably would have still had those.

Me too









But for reals, I like that one. Really shows the A-Spec wheels nicely.

Thanks Aman...it's called no kids, mild ocd, lots of cleaning product and camera trickery...ask anyone that's seen it in person...it ain't that pristine. It's not BAD, per se, but it's not as perfect as it looks in pictures.


Pictures do it justice...lol

I was actually talking mod-wise... One of very few cars that's done with originalality without being overdone.

The aspecs look awesome on your car man!

I've been reading through MAS's progress thread too and I think you both need to rock your aspecs if you ever get a chance to meet up and take some pictures!

Thanks everyone...I doubt MAS will put his Aspec back on for a photoshoot now that he has those gorgeous wheels.

Aman, I've definitely considered it, but they're expensive and not worth it to me...they're never the right color when I look, either.

I got a decal from glenn, sick tls, tried white for a change.
