Goodfella's Rotary Garage 1995 BB FD, my take on the Ultimate Street Machine
Man I HAVE been away for a while. Sorry to hear about the VR car Rich. But the new car looks great! (I might be biased towards BB...).
I made the switch to an AEM box about a year ago on my setup. I really like it.

I had these identical wheels about 2 years ago when I last went to DGRR to run the Tail of the Dragon, but with the Titanium Black finish.
I've since migrated back to the trusty Technipolish finish and prefer it on the Brilliant Black car.
Specs are my standard 'OG Rolled Fender Fitment:'
18x9.5 +38 front 18x10 +32 rear with 255/35 and 265/35. I'm also running a 5mm spacer in the rear, there's probably room for one in the front too.
It's amazing how the look of the wingless car changed moving from the Profil 5 to the 10. I loved the 5 on my old VR car with the R1 wing, but the mesh style suits the wingless look much better IMO.

Give me a price on the 5s with out the tires. My track car is craving more rubber
Beautiful!... the P1 is completely badass, but you have to hand it to a 23 year old FD being able to be parked next to it and hold up well.
Yeah, I had Fikse FM10's for a hot minute, and then the 2nd time I polished the lips I put them up for sale.

Appreciate all the kind words guys 
As I've looked at used FDs for sale in the area, I've definitely grown to appreciate the beauty of a super clean BB '95. I feel fortunate that the previous owner sold the car to me, to be honest.
In related news, The Black Plum (unsure of nickname
) will soon be joined by a bumblebee brother..... IRP streetported engine and GT35R turbo and all

Daytime running lights
What are using for the daytime running lights? They look very clean
Trying to find something like it for myself.

Snapped some shots as the sun went down today.... spent some time removing the Rywire engine harness and installing a new OEM unit from Mr. Raymond Crowe, Esq. More on that later.

I recently picked up the LED front and rear upgraded harnesses with bulbs from RLee429 here on the forum and have been very happy with them. Super bright, that's for damn sure 
In the front, all four of the combo lights operate as running lights with the parking lights on. When you signal, the bulb blinks between orange and 'off' like you'd expect.
In the rear, the parking LED lights are very bright, and when braking the two outer (turn signal) circles light up red, so six red lights. Like in the front, when signaling they blink orange and 'off' as is normal.
The pics don't really do them justice but wanted to post these up as a happy customer

Took some snaps of both FDs chilling side by side, as I plan to (regrettably) put the CYM up for sale soon 
you can see some comparo's between the standard lighting on the CYM and the upgraded goodness from RLee
