Talking

That's one sweet looking car. I kinda like it when you showed the pics of the car w/o the stickers. I think the car would look a lot cleaner. But I still wouldn't mind taking your car around.

Damn! that is AWESOME! Thats just about the only car i've seen where the stickers dont detract from the appearance, in fact they add greatly to the effect of the car. I'm assuming you were going for a fully sponsored GT car look? Seriously, I wouldn't call someone a poser if that copied that car part for part. Very Very sweet job. Thats the only car I've ever seen that I wouldn't change a single bit. Quick question though. What hand did motorex play in the assembly of that amazing automobile? Is that a japanese imported Rex? Or are there like, a giant *** load of japanese tuning parts on the car?


Holy crap, I'm going to be saying holy crap for the next week, holy crap holy crap holy crap. That car is perfect.

Thanks for all the compliments! Evoandy is right about going for the JGTC look. I thought it would be nice to display the names of those who have helped with the project. Motorex gave me a great deal on the C-West products along with A&A Auto in Van Nuys, CA. I spoke to Motorex last week and they asked if the car is available for future mag ads and other promotions for next season. I can't say enough good stuff about all of these companies. I would highly recommend all of them. Talk to you guys soon.

Daisho- Yep. It's Veilside. I got a great deal from a friend of mine. I also like the C-West CF wing, it's just too rich for my blood right now.

Rogue- The siver is a PPG gunmetal. The blue was custom mixed.

Cetchup- I got the LE 37s from Pann. I usually just deal with Thomas and Chris up there.

1Fast7- Yes. They are the gunmetal LE 37s. 18X8.5 front 18X9.5 rear

I didn't even see the car for the 1st 2 days.....then a couple friends asked me if I saw the FD outside. What FD? Then we took the long walk out to where your car was......very nice car! Are you dealing with anyone at Apexi or are you going through someone else? My friend from Apexi was the one that told me about your car being there. He's the owner of the F&F FD. I like the rims.....did you notice that those rims (or that style) seemed to dominate the cars at Sema? Lot's of car's with that style. Anyway....nice job!

1Fast7- I've got Falken 245-35-18 front & 265-35-18 rear. Nope, no rubbing.

Silvr94r2- Thanks. Glad you liked it. Yes, I do want to go all Apex products. Maybe you can put in a good word to the guy at Apex for me What's the owners name of the F&F 7 BTW. Thanks

Rx72jock: Yes they are both friends of his.......he has my car right now getting some stuff done. Tony is a really nice guy.....has alot of connections as well. The owners name is Keith of the F&F FD......but my other friend takes it around for him sometimes. They both work for Apexi.......very cool guys.
Some of the people on here would be very suprised to learn some stuff about the Apexi PFC. Everyone is Haltech this and that......if they only knew what the truth really is. Everything the Haltech can do and more.......whew.....better not get into that. Might start to flame somebody.
Anyway.....Cwest.....email me and I can talk to them about what you want and any info you might need. I'll be seeing them this weekend probably.....if not, then next I'm sure. Anyway, you can email me at turborx7@lvcm.com

Headlight kit?

Hey C-West
When upgrading the headlights, what headlight kit did you use?
Did you use the C-west headlight kit?
