That is a good thing by the way.
You're a sick fvck, I think that's why we get along so well.

Couldn't agree more, busy wheels don't pull it off well. Must be a simple design or they just have too much going on, like the chrome OEM rays.

It was over 100 here yesterday and Tuesday and while the **** got hot (I left it in the bright sun as an experiment) it was cool to the touch 3-4 minutes after I gor the car running. Aluminum dissipates heat pretty quickly, I don't know how the titanium version of this **** would fare.

Thanks man I appreciate that. Nope on the fronts. Running right at -2 degrees but the toe is fine. The rears are at -1.9 both sides, toe is in spec, and the Stillen RCas still have plenty of adjustment left. However, I can barely fit 2 credit cards between the sidewall and the fender so I've got as much positive camber as I'm gonna get. Now I just need to get the fronts that close, looks like I need to go to a 20mm spacer from the 15 I have now.

I clear the speedbumps in my apt. by about 1/4" so more low isn't an option. That and I'm maxed out on the Tanabes with one collar removed F&R. Love to see a pic like that of your beast.

Awesome, I can't wait until September. Can't get here fast enough.

Got a sneak preview of the color on my new grill. Ionic shipped it out today and it was painted "Silver Chrome". Here's the color on a coupe grill.

Tommy how's your car going to be there if you aren't?

Marcus I think you're right. It'll be here Thursday.

wes will most likely drive my car and his friend will drive his or my wife will drive his. One way or the other if i can't be there I'd rather have some piece of me there. Trust me seeing pics of my car with you guys while I'm over there will pump me up beyond belief.

That's pretty cool, especially if your wife reps your car on the trip and back. I wish I could find a lady like that, but all of the women I've met recently are genuine psychos except for one. And she lives halfway across the country.

I know I said it another thread, but thanks for your service. I have mad respect for you guys and girls.

Not many left. JDM tails might happen this summer and then fix my front spoiler, modify my stock bumper with the hole/finisher the X has, then respray my whole front end including the hood.

I'd like to find a new trunk spoiler that's a little more pronounced but not overly big. I'm looking for something different than stock or even the Grubbs Euro style. I'm super picky about what I put on my car so finding just the right spoiler seems to be as tough as finding my wheels. I decided over 2 years ago that I wanted the Gravis 1s (didn't know I'd end up with chrome ) and waited a year and a half until I found a used set since they've been discontinued for a long time. Nothing else out there does to me what these rims do. Weird to most people I'm sure.
