[watisjdm]

thanks bro!! will do

[r_Senik]

you traded the R?

[watisjdm]

Yep a while ago....around sept of last year

[Genji-Sama]

Wow, very sexy EK. I didn't even know they made 4x100 VS-XXs

[watisjdm]

Wow, very sexy EK. I didn't even know they made 4x100 VS-XXs

Yep, Very Rare set!!

[.:Stirfry:.]

awesome stuff man, i love builds like these

[Dirty Octopus™]

this is looking REALLY REALLY good.

[Starrfire]

I would post my build on this site, but the area has a reputation...

[watisjdm]

Nice, i like the new wheels, but im not digging the raked look. Kinda looks like the rear could use lowered a little bit more or the front brought up. Just my opinion though. Nice car none the less.

the raked look? the rear needs to be lowered, i haven't finished yet and the wheels are getting powdercoated purple

awesome stuff man, i love builds like these

thanks man, hopefully more updates here very soon

this is looking REALLY REALLY good.

thanks bro, I really really really want your LS :P cash in hand!!

I would post my build on this site, but the area has a reputation...

I dont blame ya bro!

[EJ_Allmota]

shit looks good.. i think i like the before wheels better but why does the car have soo much rake??

[msanch24]

the wheels are getting powdercoated purple

Could be good ... we'll just have to see i guess!

[watisjdm]

the reason the car is low in the front and not the rear is because the front has sleeve overs and the rear just has springs, but im swapping them for full coilovers!

the purple wheels will go along with my purple motor mounts!

[msanch24]

lol ill have to see it to decide

[watisjdm]

yeah...i like the gold but its just too boring now

[msanch24]

i would personally go for a gunmetal thats just a hint darker than body color, but i understand the want for a color that will pop.

[Wicho_ej6]

i cant wait to see it

[watisjdm]

i would personally go for a gunmetal thats just a hint darker than body color, but i understand the want for a color that will pop.

Yea I was gonna do a color called burning black which is like a gunmetal color but I wanna do something different

[j0natell0]

veddy NIIIIIICEEEEEEEE!!

[watisjdm]

thank you sir!!!

[firby911]

Super nice shit in here, really nice progress so far.

[watisjdm]

Super nice shit in here, really nice progress so far.

thanks dude, more and more as the days go on!!

[EJ_Allmota]

the reason the car is low in the front and not the rear is because the front has sleeve overs and the rear just has springs, but im swapping them for full coilovers!

I kind of figured that after I noticed its sitting like that through all the photos..

[wanggsticky]

i actually saw this on H-T and loved it!

[Black4DrEK]

Damn man.. Keep it. This coupe is Awesome!

[watisjdm]

I kind of figured that after I noticed its sitting like that through all the photos..

Yea, I sold my EF with the D2's on it fml so now I gotta buy a new set haha

Everyone else thank you...gonna take a few more pics here soon as it gets closer to time to shave the bay

[Genji-Sama]

Yea I was gonna do a color called burning black which is like a gunmetal color but I wanna do something different

Burning Black is sooo sexy, please go with that. IMO it would set the car off right, bright wheels just don't cut it anymore.

[JDMDA_1.7]

hell yea very nice!!

[FasTech]

Looking good man

[watisjdm]

We shall see I think burning black might be too boring

[Genji-Sama]

Does this look like the face of boring to you


My friend tyler's G35. wheels are complete and utter sex

[watisjdm]

No it looks good but that's a black car..silver with burning black might not look as good

[Genji-Sama]

Black and silver usually looks pretty secksy, but I think those wheels were also produced in a burnin silver,.....buuuut either purple, black, or silver, i'm sure the car will look good

[watisjdm]

Thank you sir and I hope so!!

[Starrfire]

I don't know if purple wheels will go with your motor mounts, because you can't see the mounts. I've got purple innovative mounts on mine too, and d2's and a lot of anodized purple stuff under the hood and I will have a purple beaks bar, but I'm not painting my black ce28's purple

[watisjdm]

I know but meshie wheels might look good purple

[watisjdm]

found the powder and got a quote on getting them powdercoated!!!!

Getting them done soon!!!!!!

Also put front spacers on...pics on monday!
