Thanks for the pictures Tom, looks very similar to the ti-r that this model is replacing - I am assuming it is a bit lighter? The exhaust I have coming in is a ultra ultra rare feed exhaust, full titanium midpipe & catback, I think I actually posted pictures of it a few pages back.
Suspension coming in Tuesday! Trying to decide on seats, what do you guys think about these in leather or alcantara with red stitching? I would wrap the silver seat belt holders in CF - these are cf backed. These are replica porsche gt2 seats, the real ones are close to $14,000 (no typo)

Hmmm.....I may have to get you to source me one of those then 
- Basically...If FEED make it...I need it haha.
Regarding those seats.....I dislike them. They look like the belong in a Porsche
. I'm going with the RECARO Pole Position Carbon seats in black leather. They weigh only 4.5kg & look rather good imo!

Yeah, I dont know about the seats, they will run be $2,000ish but I really don't think I want cloth and the leather recaro seats are like $1400 each plus rails? Just money though, right? I am tired of buying things and changing my mind, just one to order seats and be done with it - unfortunately I know that will never happen. I kinda like these too:
limited production run in this color, I think.
or just red ts-g's

Okay, so today I worked on the center part of the wheels. As you know meisters dont come with center caps and the center part was all rusted. I ended up not using the matte clear coat pictured below.
Before
Products used except for the clear
All jacked up
cleaned the wheels while they were off, decals should be here soon
sanded the center section of each wheel, 150 grit, 400 then 1000. Masked off & ready for paint
end result!
rear
front
I will take some full pictures of the car when the work decals come in. Amazing how something so cheap and simple can be such a nice touch. Was a complete pain in the *** to sand everything though. This makes Bryan happy.

Few updates:
1. Just got my work decals in, bought them from http://workwheelsonline.com/ which IMO was one of the few online vendors I haven't had a problem with. $25 for decals does make my ******* hurt though.
2. And so the moment has arrived, almost 2 years to finally get some suspension here. These are completely overkill but sure are pretty to look at. Long discontinued by HKS, MSRP was 550,000Y or roughly $6k.

Okay, maybe I am the only one who thinks they are cool sooooo
Looking to have the suspension installed this weekend. FINALLLLLLLLLLLLY no more 4x4.

Its been taking me forever to install the suspension, partly because I am writing a tutorial on how to do it as I go along. Anyways, heres the old midpipe and rear struts out. Only the rear is done, drop is 1.5".
Looking real pretty
About .25" between the tire and fender.
No more 4x4 bittttttttttttttttttttttches. Red lugnuts are just temp so I don't scratch the other ones by taking them on & off.
