So is this car stock montego blue? did you add any other sort of coloring? it looks absolutely awesome. I actually really like this look and it would look even better with the rear fenders.

Thanks Guys!

I'm really glad you guys like the rotors..

They are custom drilled RZ rotors by David Garfinkle from Garfinkle Motorworks. David measured and harmonically balanced and drilled each hole and counter sunk the holes. He did an awesome job and it was CHEAPER to get him to custom drill it than buying a brand new replacement OR significantly cheaper than buying pre drilled rotors from Japan. He can do this for the RZs and also stock.

Personally, it looks so much better than cheap ebay drilled rotors. Give him a call if interested.


Regarding the wheels..

Its Gram Light 57C in Gun Metal. Gram Lights made very few of these and I've only seen one other set on another car. The ones on the car are 17x9.5 all 4 corners. I believe offsets are 38? But I'm not 100% off the top of my head.

Very nice rspecfd! I'd love to see that setup with a different hood (Mazdaspeed or Feed) and some Knightsport pop-up lights.

Awesome rolling shots, rspecfd! Is that the new Shine Auto taillight/lip spoiler? What wheels are you rolling with the stretched tires...they look great! I'm guessing black VSXX since you have gold lettering center caps...? Not many gold lettering caps.

All vsxx have gold lettered center caps. The older work vsxx wheels, with a slightly different design have different center caps. The vs-tx have the red background with the gold letters.

Working on a PM answering all your questions and such. What offsets are you running and how much camber? I will have 19" bbs lm's and want to see what I can get away with offset wise. I want to run gtr offsets, ie 19x10+18, which should make the step lip on the bbs lm look sick. What is your opinion on the 19's? Too big or just the right size, I am going back and forth between 18" and 19"?

BTW, car is absolutely beautiful, I like the vs-xx 100x better then the te-37s that you had previously. You also need to post up some more pictures of that girl posing in front of your car in the post your engine bay thread.
