^Love it? Enkei wheels?

IMO lose the tan seats and wiper arms and that last shot is about perfect

What color is the car?

Agreed, R1 suede seats, eliminate the windshield wipers and you're good to go! I've actually run my FD for more than 10 years W/O wipers. Really cleans up the back of the hood and windshield area. Surprised the more owners don't run wiperless based on many of us being fair weather drivers

Interesting, the front wipers have never bothered me much and I'm hyper **** when it comes to aesthetics. Also after doing a quick search, even time attack FD's still retain the front wipers. So no major performance/aero gain to be had by removing them

To each their own I suppose ^^

I've never removed my wipers but I can't imagine ever using them so I may take them off. I will just rain-X the glass in case I get caught out in a unexpected squall.

Yeah, Enkei RS05RR

I've also been on and off looking for black interior parts. Mainly seats and door panels. Dont mind getting the seats redone, but I haven't been quick enough to get some nice black door panels.

and its a Toyota color from the RAV4s and such. Kind of a muted bronze.

Based on the quality of the rest of the car, it deserves OEM Recaro RZ's ^^

Also if you ever get the car repainted you might consider picking up a 1 pc carbon fiber 99 lip and get it painted at the same time. That would look insanely clean.

That is a gorgeous color, especially on the FD shape. Might I suggest taking a look at the RX-8's R3 Recaro's? I think they'd look nice with the whole color theme on the car now.

Figured I'd finally post the old debt dealer. It's going to look vastly 6 months from now.

Looks great

Amazing. A color that makes a regular toyota look more dreary, can make an FD look even better.

Smile Finally back from paint!!!

Finally got the car home last night. Still a few more things to do with the exterior, but I am just glad to have it back in the garage
