Drove it from Austin, TX to Pensacola, FL today. Picked up a rock chip in my front window from Louisiana....

Thanks! I don't think it is necessary to paint them as they look pretty decent out the box. Rock chips will eat away at the paint eventually. IMO only reason to paint would be a different color scheme. Kind of a waste to paint something black...black.

Put this in. It was $6 and I thought it would be a nice little accent for the interior.

Next up, and I blame @idanvan for this, is to debadge the rear. It looks so much nicer without the badges.

It might take another 4-6 weeks.

They will be shipped from Japan cuz they are not in stock in the United States.

8 weeks? That's an insane wait time.
Have you checked anywhere a little outside of your local shops?

Or Canada, for that matter?

Wanted to experiment with a DSLR so I tried taking some pictures. No tripod and I'm a complete monkey, so they aren't stellar but I liked a few of them anyway. The camera's sensor also has two faulty pixels-- very annoying, especially when shooting video where they can't be removed.

Interior and plate lighting are Diode Dynamics' stage 2 items, if anyone's wondering.

Also shot some video, just ****ing around and practicing focus pulls. Caught a clip of exhaust vapor being lit up by the tails that I thought was kind of cool:

For the specs I want, 18X9.5 +40 5X100 Pressed Graphite, they are out of stock everywhere in North America.

I do love those wheels. I want to be wingless so bad! No one is available to swap with, and a new trunk lid costs $300 before painting. Looking sweet there, Sir! Love the TOM'S.

I was super cool aunty picking up my 4-year old niece from preschool today

smbstyle · 04-03-2014, 05:23 PM

Took off the crappy OEM exhaust tips and got some nice double wall, angle cut 3.5" tips welded on:

Odd · 04-03-2014, 06:04 PM

Installed Clear TOM'S Tail lights

- those stock Altezza taillights were driving me nuts on a dark car.

I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. One winter's worth of dust in the engine bay, only half of it gone. Oh, my studded snow tires aren't very studded anymore.
