Me before I met you I thought I could always find the best deals... you're on another level. Maybe freelancer status (if you get the joke).

The first two are actually mustang wheels that have almost the perfect fitment besides oem rim for 19x8.5 or 18x8.5 wheels for lifetime warranty and roughly $600-700 for all 4. I sold my 2013 Z-rays for $625 for the back two only.

The only three coupe wheels I'd pick are choose 370z option rays, IPL wheels or the q60 coupe wheels but all those are usually way more than that.

Here is latest pics taken today:

and the G outside after the wheels completely finished and drivable.

If any of you have been following my build or have just read the first page you know that I started with tires, perfromance mods, some interior mods, then just recently minus the tint and spoiler I haven't had nothing really until I started on the outside in late April.



Side-by-side of end of April to a few days ago.

They can grow up so fast sometimes

Bonus points for using one pic for 6, am I right?

That's actually a great idea! - Having a walk-around video like that, that should be a part of everyone's build thread.

I like that overall exhaust note, sounds aggressive but not over the top when you're not going WOT.
Mine sounds real close but I've got a window of rasp about 3k rpm +/- 100rpms.
Does yours have any noticeable rasp, I thought I heard a faint bit of it but hard to tell w/ my laptop sound.

Honestly from the inside the intake is louder than the exhaust at WOT but it doesn't really have any rasp under a load. Mainly a hair outside the cabin when revving it. The worst part about the exhaust would be some drone at highway speeds but it's not bad.

It's been a few weeks since I've updated this, in the past 6 weeks. I've done a few small mods.

- Alutec strut brace (great quality, very clean welds)
- Zspec burnt titanium finish TB & engine cover bolts, Red engine bay washers and flat heads bolts
- Shadow Drive Throttle Controller (great for adjusting throttle feel & travel)
- Finally, FINALLY had my worn steering wheel recovered with my Xuji perforated leather wheel skin. It makes the car feel and look so much better.

Thanks Brad! Yeah the steering wheel was terrible. While everything besides the driver's seat and steering are in good condition for a ten year old car but the wheel just made it look so old and worn out me. It just started going downhill real quick last summer. The new skin feels so much better and the stitching has a great feel to it as well.
