How come?

That's actually one of my long-term plans as well. Love the looks of the R2C in Black Nickel, but I'm wanting the Takeda before the car gets tuned.

Wow, those wheels are nice! And you got a smoking deal on them. Definitely can't beat that.

I've been looking at the overflow tank as something to upgrade. The stock plastic one starts looking pretty nasty after a while.

You'll really like the Takeda CAI. I should start a build thread like Rochester, but need to cull everything together that I've done so far.

I like the R2Cs theres nothing really wrong with them but the black coating on mine is starting to bubble and chip where the MAF sensor is located. I know intakes are a hit or miss on power gains so I m not really doing it for that its more for looks. I got tired of looking at the chipped intakes and figured I change up the engine bay a little with some polished parts that's why I got the takeda long tubes, overflow tanks with polished caps.

also didn't hear anything negative about the takeda intakes so I figured why not

Where did you pickup the SxExCx overflow tank? How much on that mod? I would love to add that to my shortlist.

I was looking for another set of wheels that I was mainly gonna use in the winter time cause I don't want to have my Work wheels on in the winter. I originally wanted some 19" coupe wheels but everyone wanted 1k+ for them so I said if I m gonna spend that much I might as well get something that looks nicer and in the specs I want. I was looking around and saw that InCurve had a deal that I couldn't pass up so I picked em up. I ll probably slap on some All season wheels and rock them in the winter and whenever in the summer if I want to switch up the look.

yeah I got tired of looking at a yellowed tank and chipping R2C I think the new polished look will go nicely together

I remembered that he had a group buy back on G35Driver which I missed out on because I didn't have the funds lol
I PM'd him hoping he had one left. he said that he can still make them 4 weeks turn around and I paid $385 shipped for the polished one. I also believe 1cleanG also can get them for us here

I guess when I PM'd him it reminded him to update his thread lol

Start now. It's fun and sometimes awkward to read back after the years slip by.

i do believe so i was emailing them all day today and they are very fast with their response. they might be closed for the weekend.

here is their email address feel free to shoot them an email about it
info@incurvewheels.com

they took my payment via paypal and they already created the shipping label which will be shipped Monday they said.

I just wished the 20x9's were more concave like the 10.5" but for that price i cant complain
they also offer powder coating on their wheels which is an extra $300-400 depending on the color.
then $150 for shipping

Not in the market for wheels but that deal is amazing and is worth spreading the word. Anyone out there wanting 20x9s in a nice style that's too good to pass up.

^ That shift **** is so nice! I should be getting mine next week!

I got some switchbacks from eBay. ChinkyChoy and I am really tripped out - it seems like they are blinking white instead of amber. Maybe because we are so used to seeing them always on in amber.
