I couldn't believe we got the same wheels. Great minds think alike.

So my car was backed into a few months ago. I didn't bother fixing it until now.
Bumper had previous damage (lip) from original owner hitting a cone at auto-x. Truck that backed into me had a trailer hitch which pierced a hole in my bumper.
Insurance paid for a new bumper. Here is a pic fresh out of the booth. Still needs to be wet-sanded as you can see from the pic.
Decided to get the old bumper repaired and have the reflectors and emblem hole molded and I am going to be adding canards (not MCR because i'm not that rich) actually the V2 canards fit. Similar to this (not my car). I know its not going to be everyone's cup of tea but that's why its my car. And I will have the brand new bumper to put back on if I decide to sell it.
Next on the agenda is head lights. Decided to:
Black out the housings
Ironman mod
STi-R lens
Gunmetal shroud (paint to match lip)
Painted red cutoff. Here is a sample only shows when lights are off.

Figured since my new wheels are going to be heavier I might as well counter-balance the loss of performance with much better tires (made sense in my mind). So I got 255/35 285/35 RE11's (can also see my brand new bumper in the background).

Did some sampling with my ironman mod because I didn't feel as though the ccfl ring was bright enough. I added some LED's. I am happy with the results.
Like I don't have enough going on with my own car decided to buy another project.

The inside cutoff is painted. The stock one is just gray metal. I painted it red. Will not affect the light in any way. Might have a very slight bit of glare from the glossiness of the paint but nothing anyone would ever notice unless your parked up against a building.
I added these leds in natural white and they are almost identical to the ccfl halo. Once I figure out how to mount them good I will post up pics.
