Nice build Ryne. I particularly like the spoiler, wheels (concave wheel Mmm), and the Takeda. Keep it coming man.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Here are a couple pictures after a quick polish with my Porter Cable 7424XP Dual Action Polisher using the following products:
  • Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0
  • Wolfgang Finishing Glaze 3.0
  • Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0

I also applied another round of Leatherique. The seats were beginning to look shiny from oils, dry from UV and heat, and more wrinkled.Before is to the left and after is to the right, but I think that's pretty clear, lol. Impressive results as usual with this product.

I've fallen into a content place with the car - not a bad place to be, but not very exciting either. There are mods I have in mind, but nothing that is necessarily eating away at me. You could consider this playing with fire, but any suggestions? I know there isn't too much time left for ideal car modding weather, so it's better now than in a few months. I would like to add the remote start module from Xpresskit (or similar) but I know the DBall isn't supported anymore and the new 4x10 has limited information on this forum. Anyways, I'm open to suggestions.

Good looking G Ryne.

Maybe work on yer gluteus maximus. Nothing like a nice tight ***.....

Ever thought about debadging? Rear diffuser? Overlays?



















But first things first. Yer exhaust tips are screaming for some TLC. Time to bring, back that bling.....

That would be sweet! Seems like there are an equal number of success and horror stories out there though. It's on my list of considerations down the road, after some more test cases come about, lol.

I have considered debadging, a rear diffuser, and overlays. Those are all great ideas. I've noticed my exhaust has dulled out and I don't mind that so much. The tips are so huge, I kind of like them fading and becoming more understated, lol.

That's very tempting...

If I can find a spare set of tail lights for a bargain this may be a fun project...

I'm considering switching to a 245/285 staggered tire setup. No reason in particular besides I like to change things. Just wondering if they would fit...

DOOOOO EEEETTTTTTT.

No, seriously do it. Gut feeling but I think you might end up needing to go with more -ve camber in the rear.

Yeah that's one of my concerns. I'm currently at about -2 and that's basically where I want to be. I know I'd have to trim the fender liner and bumper bracket, which isn't a problem. I feel like it would fit without camber adjustments, I just wish there were more to go off of on this forum but it seems to be relatively unchartered fitment territory.
