Love the wheels, very nice. Nice intakes too, where did you get them and how much were they? seems like they are a little close to the snail though, might raise your intake temps. They look very clean though.

Intake

Rims: eh... I've seen better.

EDIT: On second thought, your secondary intake looks like it'd be getting leftover air from the primary. Not the best design IMO. I guess I don't like either then.

Next you need an R1 chin spoiler, it would really set the car off.

nice and clean!

1) Ever thought about getting the R1 lip?
2) Have you noticed an increase in power from just the intake?

BTW- you should change that AST to an afdtermarket one like NOW! It's ready to go. Notice how it's green instead of black. Typical sign that the plastic is getting old.

Anyway nice ride bro.

Will definitely be getting an R1 or 99 lip soon. I replaced an RE intake with this one and haven't noticed any difference...this one just looks a lot better. As far as the rims looking cheap...I don't have the money right now for some expensive wheels. I got these rims and tires with 90% tread for $250 plus my stock wheels and tires. So I couldn't pass it up. I needed 2 new tires anyway, so I would have spent $250 anyway.

hey if you like the way the intakes look but want ones that you can wash and are more durable get the blitz sus system.I have it and it looks freakin awesome.Makes the car look mean as all hell.Add some hard intake pipes and your intake system will look even better and also farther from the turbos where the cooler air is.

Dude I think your rims are alright. Especially better looking than the stock ones.

I just hate the look of the stock wheels. I know that they are light and all but that is where *I think* the styling of the FD falls short.

not everyone is rich, if he didnt want to spend 2gs on rims then he doesnt have to. from the looks of the car he just got it and is starting his moding. give him time. i still have the stock rims on the fc and fd.
