Wow, I've always wanted a set of these wheels on a car. 5 spoke with a lip is the ultimate! Well at least after buying those, you won't have money to go changing cars again. Great build!

A quality spacer, for a quality wheel.

I decided to run a 20mm Eibach spacer to pair with the Regamasters. I love the look of the Regas, but the fitment made me want more. Coming from my spare set of 17x9 57CRs, the Regas we're obviously less aggressive.

SUPER clean car, I am digging it!

What hood pins did you end up using here?

I have the Edelbrock supercharger and have noticed there is MAD heat soak, especially with the temps reaching almost 100 out here. I can't even touch anything under the hood after driving more than 5 minutes. I love the look of this hood, even though I wanted to keep it very stock looking, but it seems I don't have much of a choice if I want to help with the heat.

Thanks! I used aerocatch hoodpins.

Yes exactly, my car would start creeping on temp just going for a drive thru the mountains in the summer. After the hood all was well!

Awesome, I added those two items to my ever-growing list of things to do/get for the new car

Thank you! I was very hesitant at first, but I'm glad it worked out.

I'm excited to see your build continue, I love the Hakone.
