Yes, ordered 1 pint of DB for the job. I have a crazy idea for the calipers I was just discussing with some friends yesterday, I wont say what Im doing with that just yet.

Other mod mentioned were the 06' tails....

Dont talk about it be about it Dont know where I heard that but it cracks me up...I would hate to tell everybody my ideas then have somebody beat me to the punch you know. In all honesty I was inspired to do this mod by a fellow forum member who did his Limited Edition LE's the same way but in red-like a custom Time Attack-because they are always red edged, but not on LE's (polished lip), they come on flat black TE's....

The more I look at your car the more I think a front lip would wrap it up nicely. Veilside V1 maybe...

I hear ya. there's always guys that say they want to do this-and-that to their car. But in the end they still have their thumb up their butt.

Waiting on a Top Secret Carbon Fiber front air diffuser. Slightly more subtle than a V1, but nicer IMO. It arrives sometime in March

Looks cool. Nice and subtle. Sometimes those little details make a car stand out when noticed.

Hey I just noticed we have the same wheels and I've watched a good number of your videos. I see I have to be the only hater, but I don't like the blue trim and red outline on the centercap. A red outline would have looked good with a black, red or white Z on those wheels.
