Yes, they are Katzkin. They are mint, still have brand new smell after 10k miles. I apply leather conditioner regularly tho.

I like the new wheels. I'm gonna miss the polished lip as it contrasted quite well with the exterior but I myself know sometimes you just wanna do something new

Yeah, me too. I had them for two years but I feel the time is right for a new theme.
Will be posting the old ones in the for sale section soon.

Color matched the HKS Legamax tips with the new wheels. Still working on the carbon wing...

Very nice job on the exhaust.

Very cool! But will the decal be heat resistant?

The decal was a stencil. The logo is painted.

Oh. I thought it was a decal when looking at the pictures.

Luckily I was able to source a carbon replica of the limited edition TRD Type-R wing blade, which looks exactly like the race car but scaled down for street applications. So I'm fabricating the mounts and side plates from the ground up using nothing but pure carbon fiber. Still a lot more work to do but finally taking shape.

Any updates on this project? I have always thought this type of simple wing can work very well on the back of an 86. I have been considering building something similar as the nur spec mounts are a little too much (design wise) outside of Japan. I would love to see any new pictures you may have. Thanks!

Hey! The wing was finished in February. I have an Instagram acct with all the build project, same as my user name here. I stopped posting here since it feels nobody was looking at this thread.

Thanks! The finished wing looks great! Definitely the best looking high mount wing I've seen on an 86. Lol, looks like it's time to get the composites down from the attic again. I've made a hood, fenders and race wing before for my race car because nobody had what I wanted. I applaud people like you that, when they don't find what they need, they go and make it.

I appreciate it man! Would be interesting to see what you come up with. Eventually I want to build my own JGTC inspired carbon splitter, diffuser, side skirts and overfenders.

Looks pretty good, instant race car vibes.

One thing that I thought of during your build photos is how it would look if the trunk was also made of the same weave of CF, so that the spoiler mounts melded perfectly into the trunk and it looked like one big seamless piece.

Anyway, nice job, it really fits the theme of the car.
