very smooth looking car. i dont know the whole story or deal about what happened to your wheels but i know ordering any wheels from volk racing has a wait time of about 8-10 months. what color did you paint your car? i'm getting ready to paint my car soon, probably at the beginning of next year.

Those are some nice panning shots. Did you use an IS or VR lens for that?

Thumbs up

Very nice car, I love how the GTC bumber looks on your car, but I dont like the sleek lights at all, it would look better with the pop-ups IMO. But car looks good regardless

Wow, I was debating whether to buy IS on a new lens, and now that I see what you can do with 1/40s shutter and panning, I'm going for it. To pull that off with a non-IS lens is close to impossible.

If you don't mind sharing, what make? Price? I really like how it doesn't look too low without skirts and and something on the rear.

I got it from Importfan.com for $250, but it barley fit on the car. i put at least 50 hours worth of work into it trying to make it perfect, and it is still not quite right...

I didn't let that stop me from making my own covers. Search the Interior/Exterior section for my how-to post.

nice ride, bro... although I am with others here as far as upgrading your stock wheels. However, though I am not usually a fan of those kind of headlights, it actually looks alright on your car. I still wouldn't put it on mine, but you managed to pull it off! nice ride again.

Very nice, too bad you don't have those smoke covers, they really make that bumper. I actually kinda like the look with the stock wheels, some 17" 99 spec wheels would set it off nice, but Rays are love, assuming you ever get them.
