Thanks for everyones input! I appreciate your time and consideration with helping me decide on wheels. I have been looking long and hard at te37's, they are definitely amazing wheels - just not for the FD. They look SICK on 350s:
They just don't fit the curves of the FD at all:
they look "okay" here:
If I was building a black all out track fd then I would consider them, but they just don't suit my car, even though the photoshop does look good.
Then I see meisters like this
However, I want them in MGM (matte gunmetal) like on this 997
I might do matte black too. Just put a deposit on these:

Thanks for the photoshop Montego. I will go wingless in a couple of days. I will post some more photos then. It is a pity cause that wing is a piece of art. It is soooo smooth and it is the original Re Amemiya. Worth 1600€...I must sell it somewhere
That is green tape to protect the lip BTW, not painted on their. Cant believe you sold it? What are you getting to replace it? Mkiv Supra?lol.

Carbon fiber low profile spoiler and side generators came in today, didnt have time to install the side generators but was able to get the low profile spoiler on.
Lots of 3m double sided tape
Out in the wild
Need to get some better pictures of it in the sun

Thanks Eddie! You really need to see it in person, as anyone who has can testify how pictures don't even come close.
Bye bye old wheels:
Not the ideal place to have it jacked up, I need to find a DD
Some of the work the bodyshop did in the fender wells, came out very good IMO.
Picking up the Work Meisters this Friday, still deciding on a color for the face - so confused.

I'm in the same boat Bryan. At least, yours is one piece. My FD is completely torn apart, but it is in a garage. 
I might be picking up a 02 bmw 3-series tomorrow, knock on wood. If the bank says no - I guess I'll get a civic. Good luck on your search for a DD. The FD is beautiful.

Got them over at my350z, they were just refinished so they are brand spanking new. Right now the sizes are:
front: 19x9.5 + 24
rear: 19 x 10.5 + 23
Not really happy with the fronts, I might move the rear's to the front then order a set of 19x11.5 + 24 for the rears. Either way I plan on running a 305/30 Michelin PS2 for the rear tires. Need to decide how big of a bbk I plan on getting because the fronts are big caliper disk.
