hers a pic of one of my front lips and wheel centers.
The barrels are gloss brushed gunmetal, the hardware is natural titanium ( a dark greyish silver) , and the wheels ( and car exterior, interior brakes , and new suspension items) are being nano ceramic coated.

Obviously it wont be blue or whatever you can call this..
but I bought the parts to change the rear bumper to something more easily driveable, with a better, wider diffuser area, and more open space for air and heat to pass through...
starting the rebuild of the new flares soon, I need a week to handle other stuff and then we can bust out the suspension over a weekend.. gives me back some room for the rear bumper and lets me start cutting and reshaping things. Filling holes, cutting some new ones.. and scrapping the current tomei exhaust in favor of a center mounted can with a flush mounted triple tip.
Its not for everyone, but then again.. idgafos.

so the wheels actually were sent back.. the finish wasn't correct on the lips and the barrels were the wrong color.. so hopefully I have the corrected product by the end of next week.
Bought the bumper, and Im just sitting waiting on wheels.. and for my Chrysler to be out of the shop so we can start ripping into the z.
Waiting.... waiting. its the name of this game.

todays big score:
I bought Savanna Little's Quaife diff to finally replace my (beat to death and most likely now open) oem VLSD... the price was literally insane. Sometimes it pays to be quick on the FB replies and quick on the paypal send.
Apparently only has one season /2k miles in her race Z, and moved to OS Giken due to her deal w Enjuku..
500 dollars.. SHIPPED. Im stoked.

You'll love your Autopower roll bar, super high quality stuff.
Only thing I may see as an issue is that you're a rather tall person and it does prevent you from scooting as far back as you may have previously been able to. Then again I'm unsure how far back you sit.. I'm only 5'6, my roommate is 5'11 and was able to fit alright, but there's still about another half a foot between him and you.

does anyone have any advice between brands for the rear subframe and upper arm bushings? I want to get those handled when I do the diff install.
Whiteline... or Energy Suspension?
