be sure to post more pics of it.. possibly with better lighting. I have the Inspection sides and rear on my GS... although they have been quite beat on. I can say with all confidence, Inspection is a VERY well made kit, and holds up well to my constant drift abuse.

modified in the rear to remove the exhaust cutouts

Yup, The kit appears to be Inspection. Nice GRILLE! You have a Blitz SUS Power filter on there too. Not sure on the rims, most likely some type of Works. Very hot car

Great looking car!
Can anyone explain why they leave the intake piece when they install a pod filter? That bit just un bolts. It would look much better without it IMHO.

I would like to meet up if you are in Victoria Aust.

It directs cool air from the grille to the filter when going down the road.

very nice mate! the rims look like Axia - but I'll confirm later

You bought that car off Japan Auto Direct? Or through a broker?

Yep, I remember - are you complying through Andrew @ Raw Imports?

I'm going to have a few spare seats in my possession soon, as I have done a trade with someone which will leave me with the grey velour ones. Probably around the same time as you receive your car, so we'll be able to sort you out

cool, sounds good!

yep, getting it done through andrew. I am going to take delivery of the car myself before taking the car to him though (need to remove the gauges and other goodies to make it easier for him).

i asked andrew about the seats, and he said that the trim doesnt matter, as long as its a factory seat.

look forward to seeing your car in person!

I am not sure if you mis-understool or I am lame?
I am refering to the pictures, and clearly, unless you boxed the pod filter, the air intake scoop is not really being effective in my opinion as it is no longer being aimed at the filter in this case.

I do relaize that most tuners would aim the new pod towards a scoop or duct maybe under the headlights for example.

Anyways, it was just as off topic observation.

Xscape,

I did mean for a meeting once you have the car. I am impressed with the bodykit!
BTW, I have the same colour interior as you do. If you keep those factory carpet mats, as I have done, prepare for some hard work in srcubbing etc. I think I had half of Japan in my drivers side mat! I used 'Morning Fresh' dishwashing liquid in the bathtub and a scrubbing brush to loosen the dirt, then a woolwash in the washing machine and finally a good 'ol belting on the patio before the remainder of the sand finally got dis-lodged! The other thing I guess I could have tried was to hire a steam cleaner from the local supermarket? Saved $40- I guess.

Chris
