Simply amazing! Looking forward to when you get the headlights done. Are you going to go black on the grille but leave the top, bottom, & Mt. Fuji peices chrome? I think it will be enough to keep the chrome accent, but still blend well with the rest of your car. Get it painted gloss though. No plastidip or matt finish.

Those Work wheels are sick. Especially on your ride. The offsets fit right on. Props for sticking to what you think is best for your driving needs. What tires did you go with? Profile looks hella.

Gotta say the tails fit so well with your car. Not usually big on the GTR look-a-like, but they work really well with your car! Definitely sets it apart from the others.

BTW Nancy's photos are awesome! Any idea what camera/lens she is using? Thanks for sharing the pics.

Thanks Bro. For the Grille I'll probabaly just go w/ the Midnight grille instead of having it painted. My top chrome bar has ONE chip in it so I might as well just spend the extra to get a new flawless grille. The headlights...you'll just have to stay tuned . Working w/ ONEighty right now...
I'll agree w/ you on the tails, i had them on my 35 coupe and went w/ the same "scheme" for my 37 to keep a clean @ss.

For the first photos, which photos are you talking about referring to "Nancy"?

Getting a set of custom wheels why not go a bit aggressive instead of a standard fit? Just saying

I'm running 245/35 and 275/30 Toyo T1R. NO fender liner modifications needed, comes within about a 1/4" from front and rear liners with NO rubbing issues.
Did you get it aligned yet and if so, how was the toe and camber in the rear before alignment?
What was causing the inner wear on the rear tires?

Funny you remember that? It actually wasn't my rears, it was my fronts that was having the problems. The tires themselves I confirmed were NOT* rubbing. The amount of camber I was running in the fronts was VERY extreme, probably up around the range of -4, and the toes were off about .5. I really couldn't do anything about this when i bought the car down in GA and drove it back up to MN. This past winter I installed front and rear camber kits and am now running -1.8 in the front and -1.0 in the rears with the toes having 0 degrees of pull.

Oh yeah it was your front, so with the camber off alot and the toe off a little bit, what do you think caused the wear mostly, the camber, toe or maybe a % of each?
Those wheels remind me of some pricey Yokahama Model 5's I used to run on a black Supra, they were a twin 5 spoke design with a black chrome finish also, called brite chrome if memory serves me correct.

I asked the guy who snapped the first few photos, he was using a Nikor 18-55mm lense.

The uneven wear on the front tires I think was MOSTLY due to my toe being way out of wack, but definitely both of the combo played a part of the tires being shot. I definitely have a much more peace of mind with my full camber kits and cambet/toe sitting where they are.
