The paint match is spot on, it's just the light and the way the sun is hitting the pearl at certain angles. You should see the car in person, it looks great.

Kinda out of focus but that's what happens when the driver of the camera car doesn't use cruise control lol.

@f-350z:

@805350z: Actually, I spun out the first day I mounted the wheels! Not used to how light they are and the tires were still cold. I'm going to add a little more camber to see if that helps. Camber is -1.5 right now, gonna try -2.5 and a corner balance.

@fhumphrey04: It's a base model, so there is no traction control. But I do have a Cusco RS 1.5 way diff that should help a lot!

@SE5spd: Already messed up the sides of the lip on the bottom and there are a couple cracks now, hah

@BrandonSS: As dvo said, the paint is spot on, but I think there's a little more pearl in some spots than Angry Panda had originally put in. Still happy with it!

@FastZ33: Running HKS Hipermax III with Swift Springs, 12k/10k, Cusco sway bars with SPL endlinks, all set to stiffest. Will change the dampening stiffness when I get to the track. Camber is -2.5/-1.5 f/r. Thinking of going -2.5 all around.

I have a GoPro and a Contour Roam, so hopefully I can get some good outside and interior views. I've been hearing nothing but good things about the RS-3's, so I'm pretty excited!

Thanks to all for the compliments!

Did your SSR's come with the stickers or did you have to order separate? Mine didn't come with any.

Mine came with stickers. Where did you order yours from?

Which wheel did you get? The stickers are usually in a sealed bag on the bottom of the box. Some shops might throw them away without knowing. Mine were in a small sealed green bag.

As far as I know, only Type F and Type C come with stickers. MS1 and SP3 don't come with stickers.

Matte black Type F, 18x9.5 + 22 and 18x10.5 + 15

Some shop in Houston, and they told me they didnt come with them. I did get center caps though. I couldn't find any in stock anywhere else and didnt want to wait for SSR.

@FastZ33: I'll do that! Getting a corner balance tomorrow.

@Ruthless18x: That's strange. It's possible they over looked the bag. But I had to buy center caps.

@gerb: Thanks!

Wow, the lip and bumper look like they fit without any issues! I wish the gap on mine was gone.
