I've been really hoping to snag a set of Enkei NT03 and have them powder coated a matte bronze. Not sure if I'm going to 18" or sticking with 17's.

I'm going for widened steelies with about 5 degrees of negative camber and lower the car down to the stock bump stops by heating the springs, or if I feel like doing it the right way, I'll cut off a coil. Next I'm gonna take every piece of the interior that is VERY easy to remove and I'm gonna paint them the brake calipers and the wheels a bright red. I'm not gonna do any prep work before the painting though so as to insure the paint flakes giving it a 'weathered' look...

ok, this is an honest question, can someone photoshop the factory rims to be all gun metal and/or all flat black?

Thanks

Strip the paint from the hood and let it rust to make your car a "rat rod". :P

fitment will be similar to the BRZ STI concept:
