Thanks man. Most of the parts on the car are not sponsored. Wheels, exhaust, interior LED swap, Custom Quad Projectors and the RareJDM parts (underpanel and Rear STB) have been partially sponsored. Even with that the parts on the car right now easily add up to $20K (I just made a quick spreadsheet....ouch). That doesn't consider all of the parts that used to be on the car that have been upgraded or swapped several times (ie: 4 intakes LOL) and repainting my bumper a few times, etc.

Received a set of sidemarker LEDs from BAUSauto yesterday.The color (bright white) and output is great! Matches my custom BAUSauto quad projector headlights perfect. Thanks again to BAUS!

Eric included a bunch of decals too, just in time for HIN!

SSR Professor SP1s. Faces are silver, lips are polished.

I got them directly from SSR since I am partially sponsored. I can get a recommended dealer for you in your area if you'd like from my SSR contact.

Depends. Sometimes they have them in stock. I think I waited 9 weeks for mine IIRC, but was expecting to wait almost 12.. They were made to order because I had the inner barrels painted silver. When I placed my order the wheels were not yet assembled.

Thats a big gap between the grille and hood. You should do a matte black emblemless oem grille

Changed my oil this morning at my friend Dave's (OH6_G35) house. Bumper clearance just enough to exit. Good thing I added tire pressure to my front tires this week, raised it just enough to get out without using blocks like last time haha
