Yes sir...that's the one...I'd been eyeballing it for years (since I bought the mishi, actually) and decided to hit it up...I love it so far, fits nicely in my hand...feels very solid and firm and VERY heavy...even the shift design is awesome.

Best looking car on Azine, the others can only aspire to your greatness J. That CF knob is sweet too, if I had a manual I'd get one for my car. Maybe it is the angle of the picture but it looks like that cabin needs vacuumed dude.

I keep coming back here because I wish I could get my NBP to look this good.

Last few pages make it sound like you want a change of pace?

Turbo's change pace real quick, just saying...

Thanks so much Ross...
Honestly, I thought I'd get a LOT more shit for dumping the teal and for going back to Amber in the headlights.

I'm pleasantly surprised!

I've always liked keeping amber in the headlights. And matching the Brembos to the amber just helps tie it in that much more.

Thanks for the thread update, Steven.

Ironically, it was the amber on the S2000 that made me realize how much I missed the contrast of the amber. I didn't like how it clashed with my teal theme, and blue before that...but with the bronze/orange calipers...it flowed well enough to keep! I dig it a lot...especially the smoked red that was suggested to me for the rear sidemarker.

So, I stopped at a random spot...building of cinderblock, thought it might be a good backdrop for a black car. Sun was setting, some luck, some planning, and some magic is all photography is.

Tonight, I am happy with this set...especially the last one I made my avatar.

On a side note, do you think these are at all similar to your tips J?

Fap away, friend!

Hmmm...NO, they aren't...but doesn't mean they can't work, the shape actually looks like it might fit the opening very well. Mine have a more rectangular shape with the one side sticking out further IIRC.
