Quick phone pic with the decals installed. I don't tend to waste time when my mind is set to something. Designed yesterday afternoon. Cut and installed last night.



I'll post a close up of the decal art sometime later. I like how it turned out.

Nope. His have a similar look, though, with convex spokes and a polished lip. His are multi-piece (or multi-piece "look") and mine are one-piece.

What's nice about these wheels is that they have to be ordered in a custom offset. So I was able to specify exactly what I wanted - which is quite nice for cheap wheels

I plasti-dipped the chrome beltline detail black. Planning on eventually doing the window surround, too. The best part is it peels right off if I ever want the chrome back.

Haven't updated this thread in a while. Honestly - I'm not sure if I've done anything new (other than maintenance) since the last post. The car is running like a champ. 50+ miles every day on my commute and I love every second of it.

I also picked up another toy to mess with on the weekends.







I fly out on Black Friday and I'll be driving it back to Dallas from Richmond, VA over that long weekend. I'll be hitting up Deals Gap on the way

The car has the following modifications:

Work Emotion Wheels
Tein Coilovers
Greddy Oil Cooler
Greddy FMIC
HKS Intakes
Cusco BMC Brace
Titanium Catback (I do not know the brand)
Blitz Boost Controller
OEM GTR Strut bars (front and rear)

OEM turbos and ECU. The car has also had a recent timing belt and turbos have been refreshed according to the seller (however there is no documentation).

Loving the track inspired look, I'm slowly leaning towards the functional/performance appearance myself. It sits nicely and wheel/tire size compliment the car, well executed!
