Although there is something about having all that downforce on a few 5 inch mounts that I am uneasy about. If you want weight in the rear end throw some bags-o-sand back there!

Try bnrsupercars for a good set of twins. Just click on there logo at the top of the forum. Car looks really good but I would not say unordinary. You got the cwest kit which is one of the most popular kits out there. The wheels are very popular too. The hood however is money 
I'm not trying to knock you, your car is definately a very nice example of a well done FD.

NickSimcheck, not starting **** but just incase you didn't read this part, did you catch this two posts before you posted? You posted saying he had the car painted and had the hood skipped on purpose? No, its just a carbon fiber one that he put on, and the painted hood is in his garage. Haha. Its ok though man, I miss stuff too sometimes. So don't take this offensively. Just had to clear it up when I saw it.
BTW: lzyassmofo - The car looks awesome, that grey, gunmetallish I'd say, is almost the exact color I wanna paint my car. I think it goes great with black leather interior, ect.

yeah i know the kit is fairly common, thats why i decided to have everything shaved in, and my rear stock bumper ditched all together and the c-west rear valence layover piece completely renovated into a new bumper. cut out about 30-40lbs and kinda gives the car a little bit of autonomy i guess . but the BNR twins are based of the stocks, and im looking to do something a little different, possibly something involving garretts around 25/30 sized in twin formation definetely. the wing is an APR formula gt-1 standing 13" high at maximum height. height and angle of attack are fully adjustable. the paint code is: 36801 i believe, and its ferrari carbonite silver, or as my paint guy calls it "grigio titanio"

Bro,
I love the color. The wing is a bit much for me, but thats why they make so many, right! Very clean. I tried to keep mine as clean too.
