With the right detailing tool, shouldn't be too bad. but i know what you mean, you won't be able to put your hand in the spokes, thats for sure. these wheels are gorgeous and I'm happy to have them.

Ill try to have pics this weekend. I'm recovering from a finger injury that was pretty bad. had it drained last night again.

I got new oem mats. will be doing custom blue stitching to match some of the car's stitching. i think the blue represents the F branding on our cars and its one of the things i loved about the Is-F.



Got a free F hat from the dealer too. been dealing with them for years.

this piece is means a lot to my on this build. i was fortunate to get it from Demik (Chris) from his previous build. its signed by one of the chief engineers for the RC-F. big thanks to him for getting things to me in one piece with no issues at all. I'm currently done with "Stage 2" of of my engine bay look. "Stage 3" will be coming before summer. will have some custom pieces in there hopefully, but as you may know, custom means waiting longer. Having the RR racing battery case dropped off at my chrome company.

sneak peak . I'm working on adjusting all of the ride height. its a pain to get perfection. you have to adjust from the bottom colllar so it doesn't mess with the preload. so its like doing the install over every adjustment.

thank you! here are more pics for you. just finished, did a thorough job today. reseting all bushings and making sure to torque all to specs while jacking up the arms all around. playing with the ride height was a pain but finally got it flush , no rubbing, . will get an alignment soon.

the car just looks crazy in person. i can't take good pics but it looks aggressive, wide, while still being classy.

That is a nice hose (and I love the engine cover!). I have an AO separator that I haven't installed yet. Do you sell that hose with blue accent to match the other engine accents?

Brother nice build. I love your progession. For the swift springs, how did the ride feel? Does it have a rake look when installed? Also, is it to low or just about right?
Thanks man

i personally never put the swift springs on. it does not give a raked look, a tad bit higher in the front that the rear. its about right. i tried to adjust my coilovers to the drop of the swift springs. thanks man, i appreciate the kind words.
