I'm back lol.. New Mods etc..
 
First of all, I would like to thank Scott@Relentlessautosports for performing all the work done on my car. Also, I would like to thank Charles@Powertrix for the amazing coilovers and answering all my questions and concerns.

I was at a point of my life where things got super hectic. Some truck backed into my car.. damaged the hood and front bumper which brought a perfect opportunity for mods. I debated to see if I should get the seibon TS style or with the GTR vents.. but after looking at the cost, it was more practical for me to just get a stock and have it paint matched. This accident also brought up an opportunity shave the front emblem! :)

Aside from that, my grandfather passed away and I had to make a trip back to the Philippines to help settle some debt. Anyways.. I was gone for a while and I do greatly apologize for those that have PM'd me for parts I was selling.. I will make a new list of parts that I would like sold.

Well.. too much blah blah.. here comes the pics!

I <3 those rims...the finish more specifically.

Those wheels are probably my favorite. I think they fit better on the 350, but they're great regardless.

Somehow the 370 just seems to gobble them up, even though they're plenty big. Just a perception thing.

Nice 40th, good idea with keeping it OEMish.... I love the 40th color so much

as for the wheels Just push them out more with some spacers and drop it a little more and they look even better...


Are yours 19x9.5+17 19x10.5+18? Mine are and I added a 10mm DSR HR spacer in rear, plus a 2.5mm Z1 spacer to Make the back sit flush and even with the front...

I only went with 10mm spacer for the rears and swift springs. Same specs for the wheels as guy above me too. I was looking again last night and I think both front and back sit exactly the same, FLUSH...IMO.

NICE :tup:

SStevens yours looks awesome too.. pushing the wheel out that extra 10mm really makes a world of a difference with the affressive offset up front... Your drop is real nice as well... Is your front tire a 40 profile? I switched to a 35mm because I was getting some rubbing over bumps with my eibachs, but your swift drop looks even lower than mine in the front..

The GTS phantoms are HOT as hell as well.. I was contemplating getting my wheels refinished to mimmick them but decided to keep the lip polished with gunmetal centers... Next Summer they will be refinished like the phantoms , esp since I have now added the black headlights and fangs... GTS' are nice wheels just like most of the other Volk lineup!

Thanks chuckd05: yes my fronts 40. rears are 285.35.19 and fronts are 245.40.19.

love the car bro but the bondo work needs to be redone... You can clearly see the outline in the center. Just saying because usually cameras hide flaws so Im sure its more noticeable up close. just watching out for ya.

fxroar 07-02-2011 12:30 PM

Those are the same specs that I have! Unfortunately I can no longer lower down the car as much as I'd want to! I drive around Coronado City for work and they have nasty dips :shakes head: Not only that.. The Ark exhaust sits SUPER LOW :icon14:

As far as the bondo work.. I'm plenty happy with it. With the color of the car it's hardly noticeable!

Wow. Your cars with GTS' look amazing! Hoping to get mine professionally detailed sometime soon so I can post better pics.

Carbon_z 07-02-2011 09:53 PM

just looking out for a z brother :)

btw check out adams detailing kit. I bought it for my cars and their stuff really works. I got the porter cable "machine" to professional detail it. Its the best thing in the world. You can professional detail your car on your own PERFECT.
