here ya go, pictures taken from my phone so don't expect some high quality photos
the bottom part of the rear and side is painted 87U, the A39 is not on the body yet.
as you can see they take all 4 doors out to jam the interior , if you look really close, you can see the different between stock titanium gray and the A39, it's NICE.......

so as you can see above, my car is nearly finish and ready for paint. only thing i'm waiting for is the 4th wheels which i don't know when it'll arrive. this shop specialize in Veilside and Volk Racing wheels, and custom paint cars. very nice guys to work with.

spirit R, your gonna have one TIGHT car(but not as tight as mine :P) are you gettin the Veilside wing?

and also you're getting the SF Champs right? that seems to be one of the most popular wheel choices for 8 owners, which is good cuz they are tiiiight wheels, im getting them for my RX-7, but i wish they made them smaller in 17" because 18 is the smallest

i like SF winning for FDs, no i'm not getting any wings, i don't want anything to block my rear window, cuz when cops tails you, you can see them clearly. yea those are my 3 SF Challenges, waiting for the 4th one to arrive ~_~..........i'm getting the clear coners tomorrow and will smoke them like the 911 turbo. hope it looks good.
what else you think i should need? my car is still stock on performance.............i don't want to go FI at this point, because i had too many bad experience with my previous FD.

and for some of you wondering what that guy doing to the 350Z, he just finish doing a black housing job and putting it back in place. first time i've seen black housing on a Z, looks very nice. these guys custom alot of cars, the yellow S2000 behind it is supercharged with stage 3 clutch. all installed at this shop.

whats the deal with getting 3 rims and not a 4th? how many SF's have you seen on FD's? im planning on black/black FD with 18 gold SF's, i thought it would be cool to get SF because i havent seen them on an FD before and i'd be a lil diff(plus i love those wheels), so much for that we're ordering 5Zigen Hyper 5ZR's 19" 8.5 front 9.5 rear, those are also awesome wheels i havent seen on an 8. smoked clear corners look awesome, i hope that turns out good for you. in terms of performance, theres lots of things to do in terms of power but sucking efficient power out of the car is rather hard. to tell you the truth man, porting, nitrous or turbo is the only way you'll get good power out of the car. the best things to get before you do that are canzoomer as well as racing beat REVi. those are really the only two solid HP gaining products, the other stuff gets you like 3-4 hp(catbacks, lesser intakes, hiflo MP's etc). you should do a lightweight flywheel/lightweight pulleys/shortshifter too to make your car feel much more responsive. the real fun part about modifying this car is handling, autoexe offers undercarriage braces, theres tons of coilover and shock/spring setups to buy from lots of different companies, lots of anti sway bar and strut bar choices as well. if i were you i'd top of your wheel/bodykit deal with a brake setup, but some people think its a total waste of money and other people love aftermarket brake calipers, whatever floats your boat

rx8spiritR

there's SF challenge and SF winning, which one you're talking about?
i like SF winning on the FD better than the challenge.
changing the caliper is a lot! i'm not going to track so often so i'll stay with my stock ones.
plus i think the slotted rotor already add some point to the look.

im talking about the SF challenge. I like the SF winning as well, honeycomb style wheels on FD's look great. You should get some BF goodrich steel braided brakelines(don't cost too much and improve brake feel alot) and some good brake fluid and good brake pads to really improve braking without spending a whole lot.
