Had a '93 FD a long time ago but couldn't bring it back to the US after my military tour was up in Japan.

I'm back in Japan again and now I have a 2000 Type RS and it will be eligible for import to the US before I return this time!

Did you ever concept a standing spoiler for your car? Finding myself curious what your interpretation would look like for a raised spoiler that's been designed in concert with the rest of your car.

I have a couple design ideas for a spoiler/wing, but I really like how subtle the duck tail looks. Down the road I might give it a go!

Throwing this out there, but I think a Top Fuel style wing would be perfect for a car with this kit. It would really flow with the smoothness of the rest of the kit.

Admittedly, I'm biased to the TF wing though...

I finally got all the parts together and installed. That's it exterior wise.
There's only a few things left I gotta do in the interior, but otherwise, she's complete.

Blows me away that this forum is still alive and thriving in! Such an awesome community to be a part of. Here’s a few shots of my 92 r1 been my project for a little over a year now and loved every minute of it.

Just picked this up. Having second thoughts about the body kit, and it's an automatic But it's basically the exact interior I wanted, so I thought that would save me a ton of effort. Also has RZ seats

If by leather you mean "pleather", sure

The black parts are wrapped in black alcantara (headliner, top of gauge cluster, some other misc. bits)

This video shows how another car was similarly re-done (their entire channel is really good btw, they took an FD down to bare metal and re-did basically everything about it)
