Niiice! How do you like that steering wheel? I debated getting one along with my A-Spec suspension, but wasn't sure I could justify the cost. Sure does look nice though, as does the rest of your car!

Yep, the steering wheel was deff. off center - I took it in on monday for that, still off center, have another appointment tomorrow... but now, its either off center or the alignment is off - not exactly sure....

Keep those wheels clean then man, salt will fade the finish of the wheels!
If you got a chance, clean the wheels real good, and put a couple coats of wax on them, that will protect them somewhat, and also makes brake dust clean up easier

HEY VIKRAM!!!!!!! YOU DON'T NEED TO PULL APART THE ENTIRE CONSOLE AT ALL TO GET THE UNIT IN THE COMPARTMENT. 
BEWARE!!!!!! THE ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS STICK YOUR HAND IN THE TOP COMPARTMENT, PRESS DOWN, AND THE COMPARTMENT SEPERATES... 1..2...3.. VERY EASY... ENOUGH ROOM TO SNAKE THE WIRE THROUGH TO THE REAR OR DRIVERS FLOOR..

VERY NICE! Pictures look great, and you've done a super job on the car, congrats!
I've been up in the air about what wheels to go with (looking for a 18" with all seasons). I too am considering the Ronjon Inspyres, personally I think they're very nice looking wheels. The one part I'm not sure of is the 'flare' on the inside of the spokes, but none the less, VERY nice wheels. I was torn between the Inspyres and the A-spec wheels (much like you), and I believe I've decided to go with the gunmetal A-spec's, just look so nice on the Anthracite. I just happen to fall into a decent deal on a brand new set, so I don't think I can pass it up.
Again, well done! And thanks again for sharing your pics.

How do you like the Inspyres. I am seriously thinking about getting the same exact wheels. are those the 18s or 19s? I think the car looks great with those wheels. Great choice!!!

Thanks guys....
dnehemias - they are 18s
If I had to do it again, I would get the gunmetal rims... I love the inspyres... but the dealership is being stupid about any aftermarket wheels and mods... they are stupid... but i also think the gunmetal of the a-spec wheels are very nice
