Looks great! Got a "sponsorship" price on some 21" ADV 5.0 Trackspec for the GT-R. Brushed gunmetal centers with polished lip. Shod with Pirellis, TMPS, shipped to my door $10,500. OUCH. Gotta pay to play I guess.

Yep. about to add shorter spring hats to lower it some more. dont feel like spending more money on coilovers since i'll be keeping her for another couple of months at most.

running into a lot of complications. Dont trust anyone to do vinyl, especially when im not there. Friend does not want to paint with out having to clear coat the whole car.
I think im gonna end up putting the vinyl on myself nexts time Im in town.

Let me talk to Ted @ EVS. I'll get back with you on his best price. Who gave you that price? and is that 20" x 21"

That was WB. I have actually got a much better price from acute performance and have put down a deposit. I am still trying to decide on finishes, I swear it was easier to decide on a house. In all the damn pics, all the same finishes look different under different lighting. Thanks for the offer to call EVS, I was really close to buying a used set of wheels a while back from AP and I told Mike when it was time to pull the trigger i'd give him a shot.

Trade in... why?!

Lowering it some more just makes too much sense, dew it!

More badass than a Viper?

IMO as far as badassery goes, a Viper is very high on that list. Even its name is probably the most intimidating car name out there.

If you pull the trigger, I "demand" a ride in it.

Or at least, a chance to come down & see that.

Viper is way more eye-catching than a Gallardo.
