Good looking rims ........ but, $1,000 per set ....... good looking ??.......

Back before even "mag wheels", we used to pride ourselves with fancy full hub caps.

Which, made more sense ...... because you put them on steel rims, which would retain wheel strength. Another advantage is that if they got stolen, you could still drive the car ......

Haha stolen or rollin down the road after a particularly sharp turn.

Actually that's considered kind of low end. I got a quote on some BBS rims and they were $800 a piece. Then there are some that are even more than that. But on a daily driver parked outside that's silly.

Installed my repainted bumper today!

Pretty happy with how it turned out given how it was before -- 70k worth of rock chips, scrapes, bruises, sloppy touch up, spider cracks, etc.

Now scheduling a time to apply Xpel!

I am considering those on my FR-S. I have a set of brand new 225/40-18 tires laying around.

Probably heat wrap. Not sure if you would wrap the pipes or wrap your intake/things near the pipes though. Suggest you ask the vendor because I could see the pipes being too hot for something like that. Header pipes get insanely hot

I think you're going to like that setup, I had that before I went FI. Put the heat shield on the oil pan and if you have left over, cover your thermostat housing too.

Nice! did you have the tomei pverpipe too? and what kind of catback did you have? Im pairing this up with my invidia Q300 and invidia catless front pipe. Im hoping it won't be TOO loud but still have the rumble.

I didn't have the overpipe when I was on OFT, just the Tomei UEL and I've always kept the rest of exhaust stock. (except tips). Cold start will be kind of loud but that can be tuned out if it bothers anyone. The Q300 is a quiet catback, which you'll probably need since you have the catless frontpipe. Should sound good though!
