Sounds like some nice plans Connor. I've got some nice wheel ideas if you'd like, shoot me a PM w/ the sizes(s) you're wanting and I can give you some stuff to mull over.

My initial plan was to use the rings for an evil iron man however now I believe in going to the individual LED method. The rings I have currently are the multicolor RGB rings. As much as I like them, I think I'd like the individual LED design better.

RGB rings will be for sale in a few weeks.

Thanks B. I have a few wheels picked out that I'm attempting to sort to one option. Whatever will fit the best with less hassle and whatever is the best price are my focus points.

Side note, Akebonos should be going on within the next few weeks. I have rotors and had some stainless brake lines made to my spec by a local hydraulic outfit. Good quality stuff and saved a little money as well.

Connor are you going to run squared or staggered?

I was eyeing up some AG wheels and think I could get a partial sponsorship but I just really like the Rays.

The BBK will FINALLY be installed after sitting around while I decided what color I ultimately wanted. Pics to come.

I'll be re-doing the headlights when the weather warms up. Which means I have even more time to decide how to proceed with LEDs.

As for the wheels, I'll have some time to narrow it down. I'll be running a square set so I can rotate as needed. I'll also be tossing on my Fortune 500s as well - just waiting for all the snow to clear.

I'm not really sure what else will come as I've been sporadic at times. If I see something I like I'll probably jump on it. I still am deciding whether I want a trunk spoiler or not. Maybe a molded one?

I heard R1 is doing molded duckbills now. But of a wait though. I really like the CS version if you have a good body guy local.

Your Fortunes, you went Swifts yes? If yes, you go with the normal Swifts they send you? If yes again, you may want to contact them and see if they swap out the rear for a longer spring. These buggers dropped me low, I like it but I'm low. I'd prefer maybe an inch higher in the rear.

Interested in the stainless lines you're having built.

Send me more information of those R1 duckbills when you get a chance - you have me thinking.....

My Fortunes came with 10k/8k Swift springs - I wanted a softer ride and I went with the 10k vs 11k upfront. Since we both had Swift lowering springs, I'm looking to have my G ~3/4" lower than that - is that going to be an option, or will I need the 8" Swift springs.

I like low too - I had a TSX that was slammed on BC coils. Just don't want to be that low again. I'd like to be just about tucking and also having the option of lifting up 1" above that.

I'll poke around this week and get some info to you on the R1 duckbill.

I'm on the 7 inch swifts with the fortunes and I would like to be a little higher. I'll see if I can get some pics, I'd like to try out the camera anyway.

Haven't forgotten, been pouring in Memphis. R1 hasn't finished the prototype yet, been working on it since November but it should be any day now. My buddy Tommy will let me know when he gets it.

I'll at least send you the pics of the mirror today, give me a bit.
