I do not know him, it's a big base. But thank you!

And no way? I'm actually from Somerset, I might be in the area this weekend and the weekend after for the August 6th meet. We can cruise if you want.

My friend is showing his FR-S at Tuner Evo in Philly this Saturday, so tbh I might not be able to make it to the Bear Mountain cruise on Sunday

I'll definitely see you next week at the Aug 6 meet though. PM me your number so we can head up together with the NJ/NY crew!

Saving for wheels+coils right now so can't really do anything major right now, but I just received and installed the full interior LED package from iJDMTOY. Can't wait until night time to see what it looks like

Sadly I can't take the credit. It was done today, but took 3.

22x24 with 10.5 ft ceilings, so I can potentially throw a lift in there 😈😈😈

Thanks!

Rim refinish options

Curious as to opinions on color and if the price is about right. Took my car to get a price on fixing curb rash and powder coating. Cost per wheel is 100, takes 3 days, and they lend me wheels since it is my daily. I didn't think it was a bad deal.

Part 2 is my car is obsidian black oem sport appearance 18 inch 9 spoke wheels I have my grill still oem future midnight, my window trim is still chrome and my fast intentions cbe chrome will it be better to keep the wheels like oem silver to keep the color scheme on the car or will black gloss powder coating or gun metal grey powder coating look better?

I reviewed the 18 19 and 20 inch wheel folder but other than blnewts nice weds didn't find black obsidian with gunmetal metal wheels or black to get a reference. Having haRd time finding examples on line. Thanks team g.

This is what she looks like I'm afraid black would be tooo dark and not sure dark gun metal grey compliments enough.




This is not my car i as of yet dont have the midnight grill and my trim is not blacked out just feel like its to dark not sure whose car it is




Not my rims only wish but color example

Gunmetal gets my vote, especially if you plan to lessen your chrome accents down the road
Here's a link that might help

And some gunmetal GTRs to give you an idea

Cusco strut bar installed. Short drive home, but I can feel the difference for sure. More solid feel when turning, without a doubt.

Here's mine. Looks good when it's not all blacked out, staying true to OEM look.

Exactly. Hopefully they have an example of a rim they previously powder coated so I can judge the color. Thanks for the example.
