Yea we are! I saw your car on the way to the airport last night, looks so good man!

Thank you sir.

Where did you get these wheels?
I'm looking for wheels under my touring

I actually got them off zilvia. Try czwheels or rbwheels. They can both build wheels to your specs.




Wrap is almost done. I have about 18 hours in it so far.

[1000hp]

Where do you work? And are you gonna wrap the hood? Yes?

[RVAE34]

That is the best looking wrap I have seen. The finish looks like factory clear. Does it really look that good in person?

I work at a dealership off rosemont. I was going to wrap the hood and leave the vents carbon but the hood contrasts really well with the red and i dont have enough wrap left lol.

It looks great in person unless you get right up on it. it sorta looks like a decent paintjob but with orangepeel. There are some flaws like dirt under it and the front bumper didnt turn out as well as I hoped but the red is so bright it hides most of it. After springfest this saturday i will have a proper shoot done.

I vote for wrap the hood, leave the vents carbon

I might do it one day just to see how it looks. Gonna need your help for that haha.

Wheel specs??

18x9 -20F 18x10.5 -2R I have 26mm spacers on the front so in a few weeks im going to order 4" lips to make them 10 wide -19 no spacers.

[Narvin]

Nice, I ran 10.5s in the rear with et0, are you sure your front is going to clear the strut without the spacer?

Good point, I'll have to check that out. Im sure it will though being -19 offset. Whats the widest and/or lowest offest you've gone in the front?

[Johnny Utah]

I took some pictures yesterday from a local carmeet we have every year. #Springfest I finished the wrap the night before and on the way home the car died. Turned out to be the fuel pump wiring which was easily fixed.

[Boogieboy]

That looks really good! Great job!

I would like to see the hood done though, I think it will class it up a bit. Still nice though.

Wow this is coming along nicely! Some new headlights would help out a lot

went -18 with 9.5s in the front at about the same height as yours in the front 215/40. widest is my set right now, running 18x10.5s with -3 camber 245/35/18 with et -8, 10s will fit fine. are you just changing the lip or the inner barrel as well? How wide is your inner barrel?

Thanks, I had the chance to get some facelift lights for trade but I like the bold look and simplicity of the older style lights. Plus mine are brand new.

Indeed

Indeed

I was thinking today of wrapping the hood and leaving the roof black. Thoughts anyone?

[bebout]

I think it would look pretty good. It seems that there's a little too much black.

i think it'd be dope. black roof, and leave vents unwrapped.

How much does that hood weigh? How didit feel compared to the oem

I should have weighed it but just from carrying both id say about half.

Im just changing the outer lip but i will be taking all the spacers off the front. All 4 of my barrels are 6". Im running 215/40 -3.5 camber F and 235/40 -4.5 camber R.

Yea, its the only notable car meet in virginia imo. You should come next year.

[RVAE34]

I will. My best friend was there at the dressupbolts/classicjdm/Jspec booth with his black 2jz Lexus GS. He imports classic JDM cars too. They had their R31 skyline at the booth as well.
