I am jimmy. I have to change my screen name.

ya the darker color would have been nice for someone who's into the sportier side of things. It was actually a very high quality gunmetal anthracite finish. But I wasn't into it and others weren't into it neither.

That looks so much better than the DH you had before.

Did you buy two new wheels or have the 2 gunmetal ones machined?

Hows the ride comfort on the Tanabe Sustec Pro5 coilovers and 20" rims at that height in the photo above? Does your front or bottom scrape any speed bumps or garage ramps if not very, very careful? Your car looks great!
