Your 100% right. Once we got the new black caps on the wheels, we said the same thing.

Thing was the owner was driving the car to Cali the next day so we didn't have a chance to get them painted.

We are going to change 2 things with these wheels:

1. Change fasteners from matte color matched to gloss colormatch to "brighten them up"

2. Color accent centercap. I'll find a pic of my caps (black and red for the VIPER wheels) so you can get an idea of how nice it looks

Because our wheels are custom crafted, they are built to spec for each application. So we build for G37. Thus caliper clearance is not an issue!

Sweet, not that the car needed anymore help, but when you're at that level already, its those little things that make it pop even more.

What transmission problems are you referring to? The IS-F doesn't have a launch control feature.

The only reason I ask is because I'm a member over on ClubLexus and I've never seen any reported transmission problems. Certainly not any that voided warranties, and none that required warranty work that I am aware of. But I don't mean to get too OT.

Cath has the sickest IS-F! Thanks for the pictures D2.
