It's 99+ front end, spoiler, wing, and side lamps. Racing Hart C2 wheels. Any lowering springs/coilovers will get close to that lowered look. I forget who makes the sideskirts.

It's a custom red made to be "like" the later red used on the FD's (post USS sales production colors).

If I remember correctly from the article that was written up on the car, it is not the standard US red. It is the "Japanese" red painted to match the 99 spec rear wing factory color.

I believe that the pictures most people have (me included) were from a web site called www.importspeedsouth.com which does not seem to be online anymore. I did a quick search on that domain name and came up with www.importspeedmagazine.com which has automotive photos posted by Mike Alonso. He is the one that took the original pics listed above. I think the article about the car used to be on Mike's website.

All the other details about the car listed by others is correct....and I agree it is one of the best looking FD's I have seen.

There is no paint code, it was mixed to try and match the '99 Spec wing they purchased (which was already painted).

OK wheel guys,

What wheels are those? And do any of those articles say what offsets, size, tire sizes, suspension he has on the car? They look like a perfect fit. I assume 18" BBS somethings.

Hey guys. The car belongs to Jose Hernandez who owns and operates PNC Autoworks in Miami, Fl. He is an AWESOME Rotary Mechanic! Aside from that car, the shop also runs a 9-Second Rx-3.

About the Car: In the picture it has 3-Piece Racing Hart C2s. I believe they are 18x8.5 front and 18x10 in back. +50 all around.

He now has HRE 540's on the car and he also decided to go with the RE Sleek Light Kit.

The car looks just as, if not even more amazing in person. I would say the car is indeed stock vintage red, using high quality paint and a very nice clearcoat.

If you guys have any other questions let 'em rip.

Sikopathx, please. I'm begging you. GET US SOME MORE PICS OF THAT BEAUTIFULL FD!
Best looking FD bar none. I've got over 600 FD pics on my pc and that is my fav hands down. It just goes to show that you dont need shitty body kits to make a car look hot. I've been looking for more pics but cant find any others. PRETTY PLEASE !!!!

If you guys read the article on the car, the paint code is NU. However, they said that NU did NOT match the '99 Spec Rear wing so the NU was mixed to match it.

hard to believe that the car was once hit pretty badly,
but look at it now, it looks better than it did when it came out of the factory.
