Thanks for the compliments guys. The wheels are Volk GTC. Front are 19x8.5 +37offset Face 1 and rear are 19x9.5 +39offset Face 2. They were very hard to locate in those sizes at the time when I bought them. Now it should be alot easier. I absolutely fell in love with them when I first saw them on Rays Engineering web site. They are pretty pricey but well worth it. Very well crafted good quality wheel. Who ever gets a set won't be dissapointed. Oh if any gets a set don't forget to order the center caps they aren't included just like any other Volk Racing wheel. They were about an extra $120 for the center caps. At least they used REAL carbon fiber for the center section of the caps. Tony

Couple questions... which leather shift boot is that? And those don't look like stock leather on those seats either? Who makes those?

The side skirts are Knight Sports. The car is lowered with Eibach springs and Tokico Illuminas. The seats are actually stock FD seats rewrapped in a carbon fiber material. The shift boot and the e-brake boot are stiched in the same material. Tony

Uh-huh! And sweet car! I love the lights, the front, wheels, hell I love the whole thing.

What about engine mods, I saw a boost controller in the cockpit, maybe I missed something though.

I'm kinda new to this hole posting pictures and stuff so I'm gonna have to get a local forum friend to help me out with the list. If anyone has more questions please feel free to ask. Thanks..Tony

Thanks again guys. Its been a hella lot of work and expensive, yet enjoyable project. My goal from the start was to transform my FD into an FD like no other. All while trying to be TASTEFUL. So far I think I'm getting close. As for the Volks, the offsets are just perfect. As long as the tires you mount on them aren't too wide, and yor alignment is good. I have to admit I was skeptical at first going with such aggresive offsets, but a tech over at Rays Engineering assured me that the offsets would fit perfectly. He stated that with that offset, it would set the car off and that it would make the car look very aggressive. The rims in the rear are a "Face 2" design, its a concave spoke design. The fronts are a "Face 1' design, straight spoke design. The rear skirts are if I remember correctly "Feels design"? From Japan. Thanks...Tony

a couple of my opinions: 1) 19s should never be on an FD... the car looks absolutely huge and jacked up, 2) pic1036 looks awesome but it needs that money shine!
