With regard to centercaps, some wheels can't even fit them (Work CR Kais in the proper size for our car, Volk TE37 SL's, etc). Capless usually gives more of that track flavor.

Shipping isn't a problem. I would try contacting them to see what they can do for you, worth a shot!

WOW. Not too into color scheme and whatnot but that car is seriously low.

This may sound like a silly question, but bags or coils? I am praying for coils...

Definitely a lot lower.

Only thing I can think of is the ground slopes weird making it seem slightly lower up front. This Sti slaps the **** out of any crack in the road and the one above looks lower, haha.

Not True, the wheels will still have to go through CUSTOMS. We originally tried ordering the White RX8 R3 from a MAZDA Dealer in Canada but they didnt want to deal with having to go through CUSTOMS. I dont know if its a huge hassle but they sure made it seem like it. Calling and finding out is worth a shot

I don't know about WheelFlip but the company I work for ships wheels to and from Canada all the time.




Don't recall where I saw better pics but while that board may be static, here's one on air, hehe

bags on coils

he just got shorter struts for the rear last night, so it officially tucks wheels in the back now when aired out.

if i see him tonight, i'll get a shot of how he sits now.
