Definitely looking better for the spacers and lugs. Car looks very crisp/clean particularly in that second picture.

I agree, It's crazy how the 5mm spacers in the rear changed the stance of the car, minor, but still speaks volumes.

Yeah, but on the other hand, this is all I know, I have been over here for the last 21 years..... Stateside stuff is foreign to me.

I thought the same thing, I like photography, but Its a damned hard hobby to learn. Sometimes I get a nice shoot, but most of the time I don't.

I understand, It's like I had said above, not for sure if I like them or not, I have always wanted to do a set, I have, now on to bigger and better things.

I do however think, If I was to put on a carbon hood and carbon front lip, the balance would pop allot better.

Some 8J (all the way around) Blue Mag's from Rays is next on my list. 6 month wait FTL.

Note: Back on the rims, they do look good in person, and I have got allot of compliments from locals here in the area.

I'm also going to put on my white SSR's this weekend (waiting on two tires for the front), to see what they look like, beats having them sitting in my storage.

LOL, Yeah! I knew people would be like that..... If you look at the car with just the green rims, it looks bad *** (starting to grow on me), gets allot of attention and compliments from passer bys.....

The white ones are more common and people are used to seeing white on white, so therefore are a little more welcoming. With that being said, the white ones are only temporary and I will be looking at getting some 8J Blue Mags in the future.

The Green rims will be kept for shows and what have you and the whites are going to be every day driving (for the time being).

It has a real low melo sound to it, not to loud......I'm not a fan of a real loud exhaust, if you can't here what cd you are playing, something is wrong. lol

I had a j's racing titanium exhaust on my FD2 "R" and I could not hear myself think.

Not really much going on, still waiting on my front tires to come in (for the SSR's).....maybe tomorrow, once I get them on I will post up pictures.

I've started looking for a carbon bonnet...........My question is vented, non vented? HMMM???

Haha yea, for sure. I'd rather hear the engine breathing under heavy acceleration, rather than the exhaust blasting away, lol.

Not many get as loud as the BC Spec-II, lol. That pipe is LOUD.
