I hate to say it KD, but if you painted the car blue, you won't have to do the engine bay

Thanks costco...

mako: I thought the same thing but I'm diggin' the different colored engine bay set-up. I think it will contrast well with the white I plan on spraying.

I know! I wish it was already Monday here. I'm getting anxious waiting for the UPS man to drop off the goods. I went out and bought $80 worth of aluminum polishing equipment this past weekend, tested it out on the cam cover. I can only imagine how shiny the lips on the Work wheels are going to be when I get through with them.

Before and after pictures will be posted.

That 350Z you owned was super clean and I REALLY like the Advans on the NSX. They look fantastic!

Here they are.

UPS man delivered them right on time. They are in the process of being washed and polished. The two front wheels are especially filthy, tons of brake dust and grime.

Thanks phee. I had doubts about purchasing this car at first, but it's helped me learn so much and has been a blast to own.



Wholesome JDM goodness!

Some S100 will do just fine.

Of course, you'll probably have to take them off every time, but there you go.

Here's some shots of them installed. The center caps wouldn't fit because my lug nuts were too long. I'm going to pick some up tonight so I'll post pics tomorrow of the wheels with the caps on.

KD, the primer black look actually looks good..... Hmmmm

And about coming over to Japan, well, I'll say it like this: Importing a French whore from Paris to live in Miami would be cheaper.

Yeah, the primer looks better with those wheels. So the cost of living is significantly more than the states? I would just like to take a week vacation or something there just to see some of the culture and country, oh yeah, and the girls!

Nice KD..... An even application of flat black would look pretty cool.

The thing is, in Japan, everything is expensive, and it's artificially so. Your flight would be $1500 - $2000 each, then hotels in Tokyo run $150 - 500 a night (easily). But if you can swing it, go to Roppongi and Shibuya and party your A$$ off.

Or go to Thailand..... Cheaper, and I guarantee you will return home with a smile from ear to ear.
