those top 2 Mugen Boxes must contain
Mugen Door Sign Light Garnish Part# 34500-XLF-K0S0:












Am I right ?

They're grippier than the worn out oem Dunlops, that's for sure! They howl a bit on turns but they're also brand new, so I'm waiting to form an opinion.
Smoother and quieter, too. The lighter weight is noticeable on rough surfaces and speed bumps. The quicker suspension response comes through as less shock and shudder in the body.

I'm not sold on the silver lug nuts and center caps. I may change those to black.

Totally understand wanting to run LRR tires, had them on my Prius before and they were very comfortable.

Would leave your center caps silver, allows for a nice contrast

Installed a blue J's Racing style steering wheel emblem that finally showed up in the mail(packaging said J's on it, not sure if it's actually legit or not but I like how it looked so w/e)

And here are some shots of the spoiler brackets that dglotch1128 was selling on here. Sorry for the crappy pictures, once it clears up around here I'll try to get some nicer ones. The build quality is actually pretty good for what it is.

GrafiXpressions - Express yourself in vinyl form!...

There is only 1 size I believe they sell. I just clicked on the one in the link and its a perfect fit. You don't even have to remove the oem emblem, goes right on top.

I will say it is a fake. 1) J's doesn't sell the emblem individually only with their whole J's steering wheel. 2) But it does look pretty good for a fake.

I have seen fake emblems and I have learned to distinguish the real from the fake, and this one is a convincing fake.

I'd be down for a meet in E-town or that area. Cowgary might be a bit far, though.
