Did you build and paint that car yourself or did you buy it like that?

Kinda but not really. The lip is the Corksport ODULA Replica lip, which is very similar to the Shine Auto Lip Type I but it has a cut out in the middle for a FMIC/open mouth look.

The sideskirts are just OEM TII sideskirts.

The rear are RE-Amemiya rear valences, which Shine also replicated and called Type-RE bumper caps.

But its pretty damn close.

Shine's actual kit for the FC is totally different with a full front bumper, different sideskirts, and different rear half-bumper. I believe SilverFC88 is running that exact kit a few posts back.

And thanks =]

I have two sets up of wheels,

The 7 spokes are:

F - 17x9 + 17 @ 215/40/17
R - 17x9 + 17 @ 235/45/17

These are my track spares so they're not really ideal fitment. I would rather run a 235/40/17 in the front since right now there's more wheel gap than I would like and the rear sits way too high because of the taller tire.

My daily set up(5-spoke) is :

F - 17x8 + 22 @ 235/40/17
R - 17x9 + 27 @ 255/40/17

I'm going to run spacers on the front when I get my hands on some to really get the wheels flush with the fender.

You have to stretch your tires or else its not going to fit under stock fenders unless you run 235/40 or smaller in the front. For the rear 235/45 rubs with even a good amount of camber, so 235/45 is the max I would go before I start pulling the rear.

Rolling the inner lip is required, I did a minor ghetto pull on the front ones. Its a super aggressive fitment, I just wish I could run my preferred tire sizes with it.

P.S. - If I could order them all over again, I would get 17x9 +22 all around. I feel like that would give the best fitment for a stock fender FC.

The ones in the photos, the 7 spokes, are MB Weapons.

I don't think that will fit atm. But thats actually what I am aiming for. I set my ideal(goal) wheel specs to 18x9.5 on 255/40 Front, 18x10R with 275/35 Rear, so I'll wait until then.
