thanks for all the comments guys. I figured a lot of people wouldn't like the Gold/silver combo. I like it because it's different. Personally I think it looks pretty good. Seems like me and Stokedxiv are the only two. I guess you have to have a certain taste. I haven't decided if I want to paint the hood yet, the one in that picture was just a prototype and I still have to install the production one ASAP, before Chuck goes crazy and kills me.
I figure if it can beat you on the road/track then you really can't say anything about it. So if you don't think you'd be able to beat my car on the street/ road course then please hold your comments to yourself Eventhough I was debating getting a set of the gunmetal TCIIs....I don't think they make them in the offset needed though. I was either thinking the gunmetal or a nice wheel with a lip, but most of the good ones are already played out. I have other things I need to do before thinking of getting new wheels though..ex: LSD, seats, harnesses, cage...stuff like that.
Speedking: I used this spray plastic tint stuff, cost me like $30 at my friends performance shop. A quick google search gave me this....I didn't order from here though.

I haven't thought of being a photographer for a magazine, because for one I haven't really thought I was good enough to shoot for one and also I don't know anyone who works for one and usually that is the only way to get a job now a-days.

oorx7- You car looks damn nice. I have the Vertex sideskirts sitting in my friends shop. I just have to find time to test fit them and then give them to the painter man along with the Vertex front.

I'm also going to pm you..
Hey Scrub
(As you know) I love the car. She's lookin better and better every time I see her! While the gold on silver may def. not be the norm, I think it definitely works, and will look even better once you put on the Vertex front & sides. She's gonna look SICK.

PS...DAYUMN son you got some photography skillz. Next time I'm up there, I'mma have you snap some pics of MY car lol
Speedking, the FM-5s are absolutely lovely. I dunno why you got rid of them
Ever give the Andrew Racing V a look? Similar wheels, but prettier IMO.

Dan-
Nice pics man. I'd say something about your car, but I see it almost everyday anyway, so I'm kinda sick of it
Charlie - You say we need to get wrenching again....I'll quench your thirst soon because my engine needs to come out. I figure after this weekend I'll start cracking again. I can't wait!

First off, the car is beautiful. I love the lowered wingless look, very clean. My question is, what kind of bulbs are you using for the front lights. They have a Xenon look to them and they must be very bright to look that way through the tint.
Matty- I am running on the Tein Flex suspension, it is a little soft for my liking. On highways if I go over a bridge or a big enough bump the front will bottom out into the liner, and sometimes when entering my driveway the diffuser will scrape. I had the generators on the sides but took them off since I didn't like how far they stuck out.
I bought the diffuser off of a former member, it's an original RE-Amemaya diffuser with the botech generators. I paid $800 for it. You can purchase them through Chuck at www.rotaryextreme.com. I'm not too sure on the pricing though.
Adam- Yeah, I'm getting sick of looking at it too. I know all the little imperfections and each one is like a knife in me.
Yellowgslse- The front lights are actually little LEDs, they aren't bulbs. I know autobacs in Japan sells them...I don't remember the name of them though. They cost about $35 for the pair.
Edit: COsborne - I am using a Nikon coolpix 5700.
Once again thanks for the compliments, I need to work on my photo skills. I spent about an hour taking all of those. I think I took about 100 in total and I had a blast doing it. If I had a tripod I think they would have come out better.
Regards,
Dan

I have a few things done to the engine. I'll take some pictures and post them when I get a chance. A short list.....T-66 dual BB, Gotham Race port, RA seals, V-mount IC, HKS twin power, LWFW, ACT S/S clutch with extreme pressure plate....umm full exhaust. I don't know I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, they usually do a better job.

nice pics. i love doing the night pics like that.. i would really recommend a tripod it makes a HUGE difference but you did a good job at keeping the camera steady. Ever think of painting your hood to match the car? i I think the car would flow a bit better, still looks great. Maybe try that up in photoshop nice car!
nice car!
