Jooky: Looking back on the first page, there isn't much clearance between the stock brakes and the spokes. Any guess of just how little that clearance is?

your right, there isn't a lot of clearance, i could squeeze one finger in there, i say its about 10mm clearance, which is more than enough, but those with rims wanting to do aftermarket calipers, like spoon caliper, i believe a 10-15mm spacer is needed

Thanks for the info! I'm likely going to order a set of 18x7.5 CR Kiwamis here soon.

FiT's looking so fresh and so clean Jooky!

I wanted a TW one to match the wife's TW FG1 but the deal I got on my SSM was too good to pass up. I guess I'll made due for now, but your car leaves me envious.

White on white... that's Rick Ross.

Is that K&N RC-9630 working well? My Filter is pretty bad with my PRM kit and was looking at this replacement.

the k&n is working out very well, its not as loud as the prm filter, and the sound is a lot deeper than the prm as well.

yes thats about as low as it goes without taking out collars, if you remove 2 of the collars it can be possible to go another 1" lower

just went through 1-17 right now lol but enjoyed seeing all the changes. Your ride is by far one of my favs.

Such a clean TW makes me wish I wasn't tired of owning a white car or else I woulda probably got TW instead of my MPP. First time owning a dark car and starting to realized how much tougher it is to keep clean esp. parked outdoors....sigh*

Thanks for the inspiration and awesome quality pics.

Very inspiring thread. I'm trying to figure out whether to go painted jdp or mugen in the front too lol.

You've definitely sold me on the painted jdp wing, looks perfect with the mugen rear.

Absolutely awesome.

i found some better pics of it, you can see about half way it starts to go up a bit

Is there a cheaper copy of. if any, where?

not that i know of, i think jdp might be the only one that makes a oem style wing like that, you can ask jdp if they can make it in frp, which won't be as costly
there is always the duckbill wing option, which i think seibon makes one
