thanks! Brit got that on the dot.. I cant afford the real deal .. more pics of the rims. https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...white-fit.html


the one on minoru and elmbridge, beside the glass store does a pretty good job. not completely hand car wash tho. after the hand wash the car goes through the clothe spinners for a second wash. cheaper than pit lane thats for sure.

Impressive! Aspires, what is the wheel size and offset; also what tire size?
Is your car dropped with Tanabe DF210 springs? The car rides pretty low.
Aggressive.

Rota SVN 17x7.5 offset +45
Yokohama avid a4 205/40/17 (I wanted 215/45 but it wouldnt fit)

Im currently riding on T1R B52 Coilovers. I dropped it enough to fit a finger in the wheel gap. The front is a little lower than the back. I want to drop it even more... currently the front lip is the height of my cell phone (sony ericsson p1i)

EDIT: i should have went for 16" so that i can drop it lower. but i like how the 17s look tho.

Thanks for the info Aspires. Gosh, you want to go lower? Don't you have enough problems with scraping your front spoiler or under body when going over humps or up steep driveways?

Car looks great though.

Installed the following so far:

1. CF B-Pillar trim kit
2. Cargo Cover -shelf type
3. Door switch panel
4. Interior front meter visor trim kit
5. Side outlet panel
6. Red "H" emblem on rear hatch

Have still these to do:

1. Armrest with storage compartment
2. Interior illumination
3. Sfift knob -AT leather
4. Side sill garnish
5. Sports pedals - A/T
6. Sports grille

After these are done, lowering the suspension and changing the alloy wheels/tires to 17s is next.
