thanks

I got the ES100 tires because of all the test tirerack has stating how they are alot better than the kumho 712s, the other tires I was looking at buying. and 75 a tire isnt bad. I have heard they are really sticky, but loud road noice. I think I will be pleased with them.

You will love those tires although they aren't good for wear though, as they leave tread behind under hard aceleration. Great looking car I say remove all the molding that is what I plan on doing.

I think it looks good, but I think it would have looked killer with the centers painted black or anthracite.

Now all you need is a 13BT with a blowthrough or a 13B-RE and you'll be havin guys in their 350Zs accusing you of cheating with NOS after you chase them down and blow their doors off.
