Haha I know right. Thanks man, you car was also a big inspiration for me especially when making the decision to go back to a stock body with a lip. I'm almost finished with work and school so I can start paying more attention to the Z. But BC coilovers go pretty low from what i've read and seen, I'm pretty happy with them for the price.

Everytime I get anywhere close to having enough money for a DD something unexpected comes up or I end up buying more mods lol. We'll see what happens.

How the f do you keep your lugs that clean, I have the same ones and they definitely don't look that nice.

They have been on the car for less than a week thats why they look mint. But i'm just using soap and water on the wheels and lugs so I hope that can keep them looking like this all the time. Whats happening with yours, are they starting to rust?

Well they show rust a little from the inside from the studs, which is normal... but it's just really hard to get the brake dust off of the deepest parts of the lug nuts.

IMO still the best looking and quality lug nuts I've ever seen.

Oh ok that is pretty normal from what I have read. I can see how it would be hard to clean that part of the lug (maybe Q-tips? I know thats getting a little obsessive though ). I definitely agree with you though, these look much nicer than the Muteki's I was considering getting. I was very impressed at the quality of the lugs when I first received them and I love knowing that they have a nice matching lock on there.

The addition of the GTS' made such a huge difference in the car when it was in. It dropped all of our jaws when we installed them.

Let us know when you are ready for another round of mods.

You got me considering a set of those Neo Chro lugs too. My red muteki's are starting to look pretty tired.

Thanks Erik, I appreciate the kind words man. I'll be in touch with you guys within a few months hopefully. It feels great to have found a place that does such great work and cares about the customer.

I think they definitely would look great on your ce28's. They really are nice when you see them in person, I didn't think they were that great until I received them. I love the matching lock as well.

Haha, thanks Vinny, best of luck with the nismo sides and your car. Thats funny though i've actually been looking into one, or i'll just have to settle with a car cover.

Heres two random pics after I was finished washing the car all morning

My brother was taking the pictures, he doesn't really know how to use a camera, haha.

It definitely needs to be lower, I want to get my driveway refinished.
