I need your professional opinions. When I bought my LE37t's the face decals were missing. I am planning to order a set, but I cannot decide between black or blue. Here is a pic of the car for reference, and note that the carbon fiber side wings and rear fins have been removed since this photo (in case it sways your opinion). Thanks.
, especially on your car. I'm taking your advice and I'm getting 10mm spacers all around 
. With that said, I'm running 285/35 tires on the 19x10.5 +22 in the rear, would I need to adjust my camber? A couple of older pics:
I also purchased some KW V2 coils and a Veilside CF lip but they would have to wait since I'm in Korea and my cars are in storage

Looking good as always Angelo! Will look awesome when you lower it a bit more on the KW's.
I was running Toyo T1-R 285/35 on my old 19x10.5 +22 CE28n's with 10mm spacer in the rear, and I had my fenders rolled and did not rub. Camber was a within factory specs but on the ragged edge, due to being lowered on Hotchkis springs (about 5/8" drop) and stock camber arms. Here is how that setup looked:

EDIT: Here it is with 5mm spacer up front, but not the best angles. It was a subtle adjustment but worthwhile IMO. [I was running extended studs front and rear BTW].

EDIT: My main concern is that there is a metal screw clip just about top dead center connected to the fender liner in the front wheel well, just above where the sheet metal wraps into the wheel well. There is a pan head type screw that you can remove from the clip which gives a little extra space, but I'm still worried about the tire hitting the screw clip if I space them out any farther. This weekend I may actually be testing this out, so if I end up doing that I'll let you know what I find.
EDIT#2: Another consideration is that 255/35 tires have a more "vertical" sidewall than 245/35 tires (assuming they are the same make/model of tire). So even when spaced out farther, the skinnier tire with more "slanted" sidewall will have more forgiveness for fender clearance as the wheel cambers in while traveling up into the fender well. So camber angles and ride height being equal, I may have more luck at 245/35 +7 than you would have with 255/35 +12. But I'm really just speculating all of this.

It looks like it would, although it might be close, but I never actually tried it. For whatever it's worth, I'm currently running 19x9.5 +22 fronts with 10mm spacer and 245/35/19 tires, and it looks like I could bump out another 5mm and still be OK. I imagine you are using 255/35 up front, which are theoretically another 5mm wider in each direction than my 245/35 (which of course varies by manufacturer and style), but just from eye-balling it I think 245/35/19 at +7 net offset will work, and therefore 255/35/19 at +12 offset should work too.

From a friend but you can get them from either a private sale or authorized vendor here. The color and wheel were discontinued but the wheel are so popular it came back into the market with newer version: TE37 SL and Tokyo edition.

Not sure yet. I might put my white front reflectors back in, instead of the black ones I am running now. Not sure I'm digging the black....the white ones made it look more "crisp". Also working on cleaning up the interior a bit - hate to jump on the CF bandwagon, but I'm thinking some CF door consoles and instrument pod cover might spruce things up a bit.
But I'm just trying to maximize my enjoyment of the new exhaust and diffuser for the time being to prevent further expenditures during this billing cycle.

Seeing this pic really wants me to throw on a 20mm spacer in the rear.
