I saw this at the meet. Very nice.

 

You say Volk TE-37, but those are Rota Grid, correct?

 

Quoted before the ninja edit

 

^ did you really have to quote all the pictures?


and just because he doesnt' have the volk stickers...doesn't mean they're not volks.

what kind of logic is that?

 

yea its true that you dont have to have stickers to prove theyre volks

but Grids dont look EXACTLY like TE37. Theyre based off of the same design

Those just look more like Grids than TEs

 

They are USDM sides



The tires are 265/35/18

Yes, its been on order for about 2 months from Japan… hoping to get it sometime in June. I'm gonna say it now though, its a gamble as to whether it will flow with the current setup or not. Might change sideskirts to match it better, but I'll wait till they come in and I see it on the car.

The wheels are Volk TE-37's in 18x10.5 +15…. does Rota even make Grid's in that sizing / offset? The stickers are removed to make car less cluttered.

The Chargespeed front does not fit well at all, I had to do some Dremel work before it would mount, and even with that theres some gap in between the headlights and the bumper. If you look at others posts who have the same front, they have the same issues. Thanks to them I anticipated it and was ready to do some work to make it fit.

I'm not sure if the gap in between the hood and the bumper can be attributed to Chargespeed, perhaps it added some, but I already had some gap before with my stock bumper. Seems the previous owner had some parking lot mishap, its not on Carfax, so I wasn't aware of it till after I installed my front lip a few weeks after I bought the car.






Thanks everyone for the comments! I've still got to complete the first post with all parts. Any opinions on whether or not the Chargespeed Type 2 front matches with the Nismo sides?

 

lol at the kids who thought these were rotas....

I didn't think grids came in these specs as well.....

 

those aren't usdm nismo sides ! there the jdm version

 

Nice. I like where it possibly is headed. Keep it up!

 

I like the orange pinstripe, it complements the brake calipers nicely. Great idea on the tool box. Did you line the drawers to minimize the "clank" sound of tools shifting when you hit bumps?

 

daang ur low!

 

baller...

 

I wonder what those wheels would look like with a silver pin stripping?qwk photoshop anyone??

 

lol yeah that's what I was thinking too. Those little bubble things in the JDM sides are under the line, and the USDM the bubble things start on the line or above it right?

btw, those honestly do look like Rota's. lol. But I don't think Wheeldude has Grids in +15 offset. I believe the lowest they go is +20?

edit:
I'm still confused on why you would need to carry and use all those tools when driving around. Like does your car break down a lot? Why not just go all out and carry a low-pro jack with 4 jack stands? lol. but seriously, I don't think you need to carry around ALL those tools, nor do you probably ever use them everyday. I'm sure it's useful to have some of the tools in the car, or when going over to a friends house to work on a car, or help out and he doesn't have some of the tools needed you can just pop the trunk and BAM! Even on a track day, I doubt you need all those tools too, that's what zip-ties are for.

 

I use my tools everyday, I actually want to see his set up cause I'd love to have something like it. I either use my tools cause I change something on my car, or I'm helping a friend with there car, or I need em for work.

 

Not to thread hijack but we actually do offer them in low offsets Here's the most aggressive fitment which is 18x10 +15
