That is Flying Lumpia. That shot was taken by Calvin during our Ultimate G35 Sedan Photoshoot in 2009. His car is DP.

I guess it's the lighting. The pics I've seen taken by Flying Lumpia look like the car is a different color. Regardless, ridiculously clean and perfect stance IMHO. I wonder what he was dropped on during that picture.

I know those wheels are discontinued and a bit difficult to find. What are the closest wheels to those? VSXX?

Nope, you should be fine. From what I've experienced, when you start swapping to LEDs on more than one circuit (i.e. headlight blinkers and tailight blinkers) that is when you get the hyper blink. I have it now and need to figure out (or just wait for my friend to tell me what to do ) as I can't seem to get it blink at normal speed when the lights are on...regardless if I add a load resistor.

he is dropped on BC coils. But he has modded them, with a different type of spring from what i read, i'm not sure what the setup was in the pictures.

VSXX looks close to me, i dont see silver much tho, the gold ones and burning black are more common.

Yes that is my car. In that pic I am on bc racing, the spring were not swift at that time but were 12k from bc. As for the wheels yes they are algernon intelesse 19x9 +32 and 19x10 +32 but I had a 10mm spacer in the pics. Also it could have came down in the back alittle more that day.

You can find those wheel on a site called Memory fab or vr motorsports. They buy and sell rare wheel. They wont have the offset the same as mine. Here is a set Memory fab is selling.
http://www.memoryfab.com/wheels/used/20100624165009

But they are 19x8 and 19x9.5 +44 and +45 kind of week.

and at vr wheels they have these which are the same color in my pic (i have change the color)



again the spec are pretty weak if you want to run a semi aggressive set up.

How many times can/should you unmount/remount wheels using the same tires. I have had 3 sets of wheels on the same tires and looking at number 4. I really dont want to screw mine tires up a I have alot of tread life left.

there really is no limit. well maybe if your stretching the tire. But when you mount the tire, sometimes they dont balance right, so you gotta redo everything. But i wouldn't worry about it if your not stretching it. If you are im pretty sure it shouldn't matter but i never mounted/balance repeatedly these tires.

I've flipped many tires around mainly cause of camber just to even them out back and fourth and never thought twice

^Check the marketplace. They pop up from time to time.
I've all seen them on eBay.

You could also watch around the forum for any 03/04's upgrading bumpers and PM them about selling their old one.

Right now it's all nice and perfectly even because all the light is coming from one filament, instead of a cluster of smaller light sources.
Make sense now?

The other question I had...
If I change my rear indicators to LED but the fronts are still incandescent, will I still need load resistors?
the PIIA Chris and I mentioned are incandescent, not LED... no yellow cast, but illuminate amber... most people that have clear turn signal lenses use them.

If you are interested in the part number, let me know - I have the original box in my garage... or someone else might already know the part number (Chris, Marcus, or ?)

As for resistor in the rear = yes afaik

^Thanks Mike.

I think I'm going to get the ones from Autolumination that I posted.
They're like the PIAA's in that they're silver finish but illuminate amber. But they're only $3.50/ea.
If they're good, I've saved some money. If they're crap, I didn't lose that much.
