Jidonsu's FR-S in Ultramarine

I don't see a whole lot of these, so I thought I'd share some photos of mine. I haven't done anything to it except I washed it, hand polished it, followed by two coats of paint sealant to bring out the shine. I'll probably deal with machine polishing at a later date. I might add a coat of wax later this week.

Updated it with chrome bulbs for the turn signals, front and back. I haven't had a chance to take pictures yet. I'm getting it tinted next weekend. I'm probably going to order some 18x8 TSW Nurburgrings this week too. I'll update the thread with photos once I at least get the tint done.

Looking forward, the work list for the summer include:

1. 20% tint
2. 18x8 +35 TSW Nurburgring on 225/40/18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport
3. HID retrofit
4. Intake

Either this summer or later

5. Winter tires on the OEM wheels
6. Full exhaust
7. Headers
8. Tune

Took the photos with my Canon 5D Mark III. The lens was an 85 F/1.2L II. I shot in manual. The f stop was probably between 1.8 and 2.8, depending on the DOF I was going for. ISO was adjusted to get the appropriate shutter speed.
