You think I would have a faded sunroof after all the painting this car went through??

Naw, its not faded.. Its 94+ Glass sunroof. Its probably just a glare as the FD factory glass roof is also curved like the roof of the car. I did think about getting my spare sunroof CF'd to match all the CF parts on the car... To rice out more

Few have asked me about the wheel and tire specs..

Here are the specs..

All 4 wheels are WORK XD9, 18x10 +38 offset, and finish is WORK 11R Matte Black (MBL) from Japan.

But offset has been changed by spacers.

Front, I'm running 15mm spacers with 255/35/18s
Rear, +20mm spacers with 295/30/18s

All four tires are Michelin PS2s

yep, looks s**t hot! I don't like the little red stickers on your bumper and hatch window tho - a bit too ricey, but that's just personal preference.

I've got my eye on that FEED luggage piece. Always wanted to get/make something like that for the FD since the spare becomes all but useless
