John ALWAYS finding my grammar errors lol, thanks for keeping me honest and yes the price point compared to just about every other vendor who does custom steering wheels this is arguably the best price point and I cant speak highly enough of the craftsmanship. WIN WIN in my book.

Well seems like Im always forgetting to update this thing. So as of recent I'm having my A pillars carbon fibered, still waiting on trim to get done 
We were to have so custom work done to my grille but unfortunately that got put on the back burner.
I did change my oil couple weeks back after the trip up to Zdays, fresh Motul and I ended up going with the Fumoto oil drain valve in hops to making that process even that much easier. Install was obviously straight forward and very simple. I am concerned if that plastic "lock" will stay on over time. Guess I'll find out sooner than later. I did end up going with the F103S as it has the shorter nipple. With the way its angled/aligned I dont foresee how it could hit anything.
F103S - Engine Oil Drain Valve with Short Nipple 12mm-1.25 | FUMOTO
I also fixed the calipers, they no longer squeak and the pads now fit loosely like they should after having to sand down the inner portion of the calipers due to the powder being to thick. Also flushed all fluids and added some Motul 600. I did have an issue with a couple of the lettering peel off in the rear calipers. Not very happy with the quality of stickers and especially for the price of them. Not sure what to do at this moment as I do want to buy another set from the same guy but he was also the only one who offers them in oil slick. I'll get some pics of the calipers up soon as the car hasnt been washed since Ive been back now which is nearly a month at this point. To my defense though, it has been raining almost every day.
I did end up going back to a modded GTR button to match the red interior theme. This time around I went very simple with:
LOCK : Red
ACC: Purple
ON: Red
Start/Stop: Red
Engine: Purple
Last but certainly not least...got some more JDM goodies in. One of which is I finally got my hands on the very rare and out of production ARC catch can/coolant combo tank. I'm currently looking for some an fittings and hoses to ensure it matches the theme. Right now finding alot of mixed feedback with sizing, I've read that -10an fits decent with no rubbing where as -12an fits perfect but has slight rubbing. May have to bite the bullet and just buy 1 of each to see which I prefer unless someone can chime in on this.

sorry guys, its definitely bitter sweet. Besides a few more cosmetic things left, car looks so different now.
The family is ok, this was what was best so once everything is said and done, we''ll see what I can get into and god willing back into one of my favorite hobbies.
