Thanks Brent for doing the honors, I'll drop you a line when I'm going to be in your neighborhood. Yes the wheels are WEDS Kranze ERM's in Platinum Black finish. Engine mods include SRT HFI/ECU & TC. Chassis mods are L-tuned steering ECU, TRD STB & LCB and Sways, Eibach Springs and Bilstein Shocks. Bodykit is L-Sportline front and grill, RMM side skirts, some Aristo badging, and Toyota JDM rear skirt with SS Borlas.

Be happy to answer any questions as most guys on the site. Still looking to do a brake upgrade; hoping to hook up with Brent next time I'm LA.
