Gouki - OB G37x Coupe
I guess I feel like my car warrants a build thread now.
It even has a name
. Black and red isn't exactly the most creative color scheme but there's a reason I bought a black car. I played with some other ideas, like an Iron Man inspired color scheme but ultimately I wanted a black car.

Wheels/Tires Specs
Niche Form M157
Toyo Proxes T1 Sport
Front: 20x8.5 +25 | 245/35
Rear: 20x10 +40 | 285/30
I'll post my alignment sheet when I get it checked. I somehow think I could run lower offsets with more negative camber and still be in spec.

As I bought it
More symmetrical without the G37x
GTR start button with the swapped guts. Actually cut some of those plastic flosser things to get the clips off - felt like that'd be gentler
Standard keyhole delete
I hate chrome
GTR map lenses added 5HP & DD goodness
CAI was a bit more than I anticipated
More debadge
Dropped on Eibach
City lights swapped
Fogs, although the cheapest 6000k option from DD was a mistake so gonna go to 3000k
Vinyl wrap Interior trim
My first attempt at aftermarket wheels - Niche Enyo
BlueBatMobile on the tails
Followed a DIY and put my grounding kit together
Paddle shifters were a pretty easy install
Tanabe FSTB - thanks Newt
Wheels round 2 - Niche Form
After failing to vinyl wrap my grill I had it painted in OB at a shop. Everything but the front of the emblem is also OB
You've seen it a million times but...
Sport pedals; also nothing new
Can't tell you how nervous I was lining up the template and drilling the holes. I think I did a good job though.

Not sure how to gauge the T1 Sports. It's not like my car is boosted but it does feel like the power I do have at the wheels is reaching the road "better". I have way more traction than on my stock 18s - but that might be a combination heavier wheels and summer vs AS tires, meh.

. "03/28/15 - Eibach Pro Kit", so since Saturday, March 28th. The car feels nice and planted; body roll was significantly reduced (used to see the car shake at start). The 6K fogs LOOK great, but that's it. As I mentioned I went with the cheapest option, so the look is all I got - usable light not so much.All my LEDs are from DiodeDynamics - a supporting vendor on here. The map lenses I got from ConceptZPerformance(also a supporting vendor I believe??), but they can be found a few different places. And Thanks.

I finally went ahead and ordered my spoiler with the ESTORE2015 coupon code. Ended up paying ~ $365. Should hopefully have that soon and then I can deal with the anxiety of drilling holes in my trunk.
Currently debating getting the Sport Muffler, since that can be had for ~$550 if ordered from Willow Grove. Although at one point I was sure I was doing a full FI exhaust, but now I'm semi considering doing just an axle back for sound - maybe the sport, or a topspeed/beluga, or that used Tanabe in the classifieds(for now anyway).
