Just a few more. By the time I got off work, the sun positioning isn't ideal, but this is about as good as it'll get with a point and shoot old camera.

thanks. I really like bronze and gold rims, but the more I thought about it, the less I thought it would match with the blue. I didn't want to go for the Subaru blue/gold look either.

I really haven't added much in terms of the engine, because I'm going through oil consumption tests. I think it's using about 1/3 quart per 1000 miles. But once I get that issue sorted out, I'll add all the ported/polished intake manifold/crawford header mods from my 03 IP coupe (in the background of the pics).
One day I'll take pics in a more photogenic environment.
Otherwise I'm done modding the car. Mods are (those ones I can remember):
TE37s in Mercury silver, standard 19*9.5 and 19*10.5, +22
Tein basics (I need to raise it, it's too low for daily driving)
clear bra
quad projector setup (took me 6 months to do this) TSX/TL + clear lenses, 50W ballast, CCFL clearance
GT spec mid chassis brace (I'm scraping this thing every bump now)
brembo brakes 13.6" rotor in front, standard 12.7" in the rear, two piece floating rotors all 4 corners, nismo pads all 4 corners.
and a few other things (intake, exhaust piping, etc)
Enjoy.
I had extra clear bra material, so I put some over the volk stickers. I bought the rims used, so the stickers already had minor scuffs.
In case anyone is ever wondering what RAS really looks like.

No plans for FI. This is my daily driver, so I can't have it down for installs. Plus, I would never be able to use that power in LA traffic.
