Did you have fitting problems with the seibon hood? They make a hood I really like and I've heard negative reviews on them.

The hood fit perfectly. The left side had a small gap, but was fixed once i lined it with a small $0.02 rubber bump stop.

18's for speed. The front's 18 x 8.5 weighed in at 17 lbs. each. My old SF-Challenege 19 x 8.5 weighed in at 26 lbs. each. Looks a bit smaller, but is a hell of a lot faster.

Why does your car look so high in the rear? It looks like stock height....
Im not really a fan of lip kits look to stuck on, but I bet it will look 100X better molded. I love that STB....

If you lower your car more, the wheels won't look small at all


I think 18" look very good w/ like 2" drop maybe just me tho.

Very, very nice and clean, but I do also think she is crying out for a rear spoiler. A very subtle one!

Vertex carbon fiber wing is next on my list. One of the more subtler wings out there.

+1 ... veilside and nismo are MUCH more subtle... c-west is very noticable from stock. Im usually not a fan of the c-west front lip because it looks to bulky and busy with all the grooves and angles in it..... but your car does look great. Someone else said it, but great job putting together a total package... other than maybe coils to replace the s-techs you really dont need much else.

Very clean, like the combo of the Volks and lip kit, even though I am not a big fan of the lip kits, but it will look a lot better when it is molded. Well done! Where did you get the HKS intake and exhaust from?

Intake from INTENSEPOWER.COM. Ask for Blair or Darren. Great guys. The exhaust I got a while back before HKS went backorder crazy.

Car looks great. I like your choicw of 18s as well. Seems like folks buy 19s first for looks then sell um and buy 18s cuz of the performance.

A side question - OT, did you feel any difference in handling with the GT brace system?

Which piece did you feel the most or did they all go on at once?

thx
