microsteve40 2k12 - Vertex, CWest, Garson inside!
Thanks for the comments everyone. I've always liked the wild stretch I see in the videos from Japan, but, especially in the front, I think I'll add a bit wider tire next time.
Now I have to start saving up, maybe for boost? There's not a whole lot left to do to this thing.
Anyone know where I can get my hands on an ARC intercooler?!

^^^I was looking at that before. I've heard varying things about them since they came back. Is it the same ARC as before they went under? Same quality and products? Do you guys sell ARC stuff?
I just ordered a few things from them through RHDJapan. They are legit and back in business, but as stated products are limited, more expensive, and slowed production.
Here's a couple more pics he posted today...

Haha, did you order one up yet? I know you're dying to get ahold of one!
The front is actually poking a bit. 2 things are making it look sunk: the tire is a 215 on a 10" wide wheel, which is more stretch than I need. The person I bought them from was running a 25mm spacer in front, so the stretch worked with that setup. Like I mention in my OP, I'll probably go to a wider tire and/or add a spacer as well. The other thing is that the rears are sticking so far out! Makes the fronts look a lot more sunk than they really are.
As for the AMEs, I loved them too. They were my #3 all-time fave wheel. The Garson's are #2.
Yeah, I find myself getting bored if I don't change things yearly. That needs to stop, b/c this is getting expensive!
I wasn't a fan of the rear either, and my original plan was to sell it and get a cf diffuser (Voltex or TS). But I decided it made sense to see how it all looked during the test fit, and I loved it with the wing, so I'll keep it this way, for now at least!
Ugh. How can they be MORE expensive?! I better start saving...

yup start saving. i recently emailed RHD as well and yes prices have gone up including shipping rates. so there is a chance you may get your jdm stuff quicker than through other vendors but you'll pay an arm and leg.
. My ARC parts will prolly take a month or more. I really hope they keep the market going for Z's. Moonface has some pretty cool looking parts out right now.
