Thanks. Yeah the color match on the interior red isn't that great, I'm going to redo it sometime and I might even go back to black. The wheelgap is a little big, I agree. I can't make the wheels or tires any bigger on this ride height without risking contact with the wheel well when hitting bumps. As for the euro tails, I got those because I wanted black there instead of red (red on red looked like crap IMO), but now I'm thinking maybe blackouts or something because those carbon fiber tails aren't as black as I'd hoped.

Your car = the first and so far only instance that I have liked interior paint. You actually matched it to your exterior paint, and did it subtly. The tails look great IMO. A "turbo wing" would be a great idea. Keep up the good work man!! Clean engine bay too...the whole package.

Why does everyone call it a turbo wing? I'd like to smack who ever started that. I thought they only came from factory on the GSX and the 99 10th anniversary NT.

Oh yeah car looks great!

Hey man love ur car rims they ok i would also prefare 5spokes black but they alright they nice tho that color really good i think you should get a wing but one that doesnt look that much like a racer cuz your going to throw off the car with a racing wing get one that looks a bit stock.

haha, this is my buddies old car...the thing came from NY bone stock, I was the first one to get a ride in it when it was bone stock...I remember him pulling up to my house, and I heard the turbo spool all the way down the street!! this was the first turbo car I ever got a ride in, and it got me hooked...the rims used to be Tenzo RS-5's, but he traded them for these plus some money...the air/fuel ratio gauge was a present I gave to the owner who passed this car down to the previous owner...it went from my friend to another friend...all in all, this car was awesome and it looks great now...don't really like the interior paint much, but o well...the altezza tails aren't too good either, nightshade would look a lot better imo...really nice to see a car I've had so many memories in still looking good!!!

Wow it really must be the same car, because the kid I bought it from in Cleveland told me the original owner was in NY. He (the original NY owner)did a great job keeping records on it and getting it serviced at all the mile marks.

The interior paint is a love it or hate it thing, and right now I think it looks good but I may get tired of it. The altezzas didn't turn out how I wanted. In fact I started a thread a few days ago about how to smoke/tint tails because I plan on doing that. I think it will look a lot better because these tails look even cheaper in person. But again, the stock red tails look like crap against the body's red also. Black on red is what I was going for.

I'm getting ksport coilovers for it this week to raise it back up about an inch and have a firmer suspension, right now it's too low and too bouncy for my taste. I put a black top on it first thing when I bought it and I think it looks way better than the tan one.
