Looks great! Glad you went w/the original Vertex kit!
I'm not a fan of those rims, but I can appreciate them for what they are.
Engine looks like a winner. Damn.

So the color is Seamfoam green?
Would be SAWEET if you used the FACTORY greenish interior to match!
(Well, maybe just different in a possibly good way)
I can't tell, what is your interior color right now?

The rims weren't my first choice, but the deal and offsets were close to what I wanted.
Preferrably, I'd want S1's without rivets.

Glad you guys like it. I'll try to get some better pics before winter hits Pittsburgh. I realize the fitment isn't great on all of my Photos. My car was hit driver rear, so that quarter can't sit against the body nicely by the tail-light, and the passenger side sideskirt was half-off in some of these photos.

EDIT: Pics Added Here
A Post by Kohinoor made me realize I only posted these rainy pics from before. . .Woops.
Here's some more that were taken by some people with cameras that aren't also phones.

The color is Silver Green Pearl from the S13's. Seems it was most common on the green/grey two tone silvias. The interior is the factory Green, but it is very dark...

Hahaha I was just going to post asking if this was an S13 color.

LOVE IT
