Your car is too sweet man! Good job on everything!

Question... Do you have curtains for the side windows? I want to say I see some kind of retractable curtains in the rear side windows. If so, do u have them in front also or just rear? And what kind are these?

Thanks guys!

They are factory sunshades that are available on cars equipped with the ultra luxury package. They are only in the rear.

very nice progress with the car.

Did you get the brushed aluminum finish straight from SSR? I have always loved that finish. I thought painted finishes were the only finishes available.

Does your car rub at that height? I would love to go that low.
So wait, there isnt a hole in the back lid under the emblems or did he have the holes filled?

Thanks! It was a custom finish. Not sure which shop did it since I bought them like that.

I had the holes filled and trunk repainted since it got tapped in a parking lot a while back.

Agreed. Very nice! I just can't get over putting my air setup in my spare compartment though .

What do you guys do if you ever get a flat? Haha. I think I'd be paranoid with no spare.

Thanks guys! I have AAA and my spare doesn't fit over my Nagisa camber adapter up front anyway. Need a 19" wheel. If I go on a long distance trip I can just throw a spare into the trunk.
