But I probably need to take a pic of my spare because it does not sit flush with the trunk. It is slightly raised from the inside. I'll snap a pic to explain better.
Or take a pic of the sway bar clearance and underside back area of spare tire compartment.

Interested in your OEM Red/Black or Black Flat Bottom CF Steering Wheel. Let me know if you're considering selling any of them. Thanks!

took some pics of the spare tire, it doesn't seem to protrude that much from the bottom (couldn't get a good pic from the bottom) but it does stick out from inside the trunk itself:

Finally Got my JoeZ Exhaust installed.

Bought the exhaust 2 years ago and its been sitting in my room and since 2 years have passed decided to get these babies installed. I painted the mufflers in black to "try" and keep it looking stealthy but it's obvious I've installed something Enjoy the pics:

Very nice.

GTR anyone?! Lol.

I count 4 of them in the garage!

Love what you've done with your ISF.

Guy on the earlier post was asking what you paid to get your calipers done in the candy apple?

I thought we shouldn't powdercoat these calipers?!

Regardless, I like how you've modified your car mate.

All the best,


Peter

Not yet, still waiting to find some free time and put some miles on the exhaust to break it in properly.

Yup the shop had like 7 GTRs at the time, people over here just leave their cars with them for months and months it's ridiculous.

Thanks for the complements. I paid $380 for powder coating the calipers from (Thepowdercoater. com) and yes I heard the same thing from a few people but to be honest I believe if the guy knows whats he's doing then you should not have any problems.

I had my old car calipers powdercoated and I had the car for 5 years with no issues. I've had these callipers in for something like close to 2 years now and no problems until now, but they do look nice

Do you have any increase in gas mileage with the Apexi?

Honestly I never checked, actually I rarely check my mpg since relocating here. It costs me $8 to fill a full tank.

I would expect if you put the Apexi on those granny modes you should see a good increase in mpg.

But why would you buy the Apexi if you want granny mode... you can do that yourself without the unit

$8 a tank?! nice!!

Must admit I tend to only use mine on red mode! Lol.

Great mod for the money though.
