NIce Job! Love the wheels. I was leaning towards gold wheels if and when I decide to change them.

Really nice - the only thing you need now are new rotors

What suspension is this?

Thanks for the kind words ppl!

Stock brake will do it for now (got new pads, SS brake lines, and Super Blue brake fuild). Will upgrade them later when I decided to go FI.

I'm running on JIC Magic FLAT2 coilovers w/ RB sway bars and AP endlinks.

Nice- So that is the MS body-kit? I'm trying to get ideas for my 2006 when I get it, I love the lines of that kit- especially the grey trim along the lower edges and the bumper around the exaust tips- Is that just part of the MS kit?

Looks sweet, great job!

Yes that's the MS kit. The grey trim on the lower section is part of the kit.

Very nice! Great choice of wheels. Makes me wish I should have stayed with gold (my first choice) instead of going with chrome.

19x8.5 - 34 and 19x9.5 - 40. Tires are 245/35/19s and 275/30/19s Toyo T1Rs. Some rubbings on the rears but will get the fenders rolled soon.

Edit - the rear offset should be 36

I thought the same thing about gunmetal before; however, your sweet ride with gold rims is changing my mind...
