And...how do you like them?Pics?
I have been thinking of the black for mine actually.

Friday I had my TRD springs installed. :thumbsup:

A lower CG than the LFA now?

Looking at 17x8 wheels next. Probably not until spring though.

Question for anyone who has painted their tails in the past (VHT products);

How long does it last? Does the finish fade/chip etc.? (assuming it is done properly of course)

I am leaning toward redding-out the my tail lights.

I did mine back in August and they still look as good as the day I did them.

You cant compare the two. I had an E92 335i and it was a cow compared to the FRS. Personally if I had to go with a BMW I would get a 128i (yes 128, not 135) sport with the 6spd. If you are willing to go a little older and deal with the maintenance I would do an E46 M3.

Or you could just stick with the FRS. :D

Did the lights on my Talon. They still looked as good as the day I did them after 6 years. I would think you would have the same results now.

Here ya go boss: http://imgur.com/3fDCVCR,6RY7nhn,R3e...WaIprp,WNLaD3H

I really really like them. While a tad heavier because of more rubber, they're a lot stickier and you can feel it grabbing the road SO much better than the stock primacies. The wheels themselves are lighter than stock by about a pound each too which is nice.

As you can see by the pics, I need to grab some coils and an extended fender for the front because of the poke. But she needs some more low, a tad bit of camber, and a bit more fender clearance for the front

Are you on everything stock suspension wise?

This was what I was asking for earlier and it looks really clean on yours. Really want the Michelin PS3s on 245/45/17s. Or if anything, 235s.

Thank you kind sir! I am now convinced that is the way to go as they would rock the Lava. May not go as wide and will have to do something about those center caps but they are exactly what I wanted

Youre welcome! and Aww, but if you go wide then you get concave! Either way I know you'll love it dude. It'll look great on the lava. :) The Center caps come with the wheels but are not pre-installed so if you don't like them, you can always leave them off and grab something you like better!

Today I filled up my frs with gas and I never really thought about this til now ...

On my 300zx I would always hear a "pshhh" sound when opening the gas cap but with the frs I never hear that noise.. do you guys hear that noise when opening your gas cap or is it quiet like mines ?
