Hello!

I'll look into that thanks. I am thinking about getting some 19" hyper black or gun metal wheels next (just had the tinting done)... although i have brand new tires (18x7.5) so I may wait for those to wear down a bit before I get anything else .

Any point of direction for kits? The internet is deceiving as far as body kits.

i'm kind of a fan of the burnout aero kits.... and the oem appearance package. when i get some coin, i'm going too wrap the stock aero pack in cf and put that on. i like the clean looks of that oem stuff. but if i had serious coin, definitely burnout. haha.

love your pic. !

Rotr8 has a nice Burnout replica for a front lip. Looks great imho.

he's got some decent pictures up of it around here somewhere. but that's the one i'm talking about.

&823ujdjka!

sorry. i heard you mention shine auto replica's. i didn't know the front lip was original! my bad, good sir. but yeah, that much shipping (prob from japan!) just isn't worth it when shine auto sells decent knock offs.

see what i mean about needing some serious coin for burnout kits? hell, you need hefty coin to get the full appearance pack and even more to custom wrap it in cf! body kiting is not cheap stuff.

If your goin hyperblack/gunmetal wheels you should go hyper black or black strakes also....
As for body kits there is everything under the sun from wild to mild dipending on how much of a purist you are(if you like the factory lines) if not there are plenty of showy body kits, but with them you get alot more people messing with you at lights, Im a believer in having a balance of show and go...

The red MAKES the car.. Those are rare Redline/Timeattack Fno1r-C 5 Zigens. If it were just black it definitely wouldn't stand out or have as much character as it does.

Next Possibly doing a black room with red pin stripe but for the moment I am still most likely going with the CF roof.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. The wheels are 17X10s front and back and the tires are Nitto NT-01s. Best tire I've ever used.
