Small update. Finally wrapped the Top Secret b pillars in satin black 3m vinyl and installed them. I was hoping to install the gt spec strut bar today but couldn't. That'll have to wait a week.

very stealthy!!!! i love it ^^^^^ and the embosed top secret shows even more :D

:iagree: Very cool!

Thanks guys. Unfortunately the satin black shows the flaws in the gel coat. Nothing crazy though.

:iagree: these are the best looking bpillars IMO embossing shows up 10x better then the CF pillars :tup:

Harnesses and tow strap are in. Had a last minute change of heart... decided against Luke harnesses.

:tup: for keeping it JDM brother ;)

Well, I finally pulled the trigger on my "new" suspension setup today. I spent a lot and I mean ALOT of time debating between bags and a coilover and aircup setup. In the end I just couldn't give up handling performance, after all this car is made for performance. So I bought a set of lightly used Stance coils and a lightly used Phantom air cup kit. The coils are sitting at Platinum VIP right now waiting on the cups to arrive so they can re-machine them and mount them to the coils... I’m very excited!!! If I’m lucky I'll have everything back by December 23rd, that way I can spend my whole week of PTO installing the system.

I’ve also been debating whether or not I should get an air pressure gauge for new system. I found one that I think would fit very nicely in the spot where seat heater switches are (need to measure when I’m back in Cincy). What does everyone think? Phantom told me a gauge isn’t necessary since you don’t drive around with air in the kit, but I’d feel better with one.

Man I can't wait to see this! I've been considering the air motion kit. I'm worried about wear all the air equipment will go in the car. Curious where you mount things.

That is a debate im having as well. Given the Phantom cup kit only uses a 3 gallon tank it wont take up a lot of room in the back of the car. That said i kinda want to hide it in the trunk area. I think someone on the forum (cant find his build thread now) even hid it where all the foam is under the cargo mat.

it was Liquid_G

can't wait to see this finished and on the road! :tup:

Should have messaged me, I have it in my list of subscribed threads. :rofl2:

BTW, all this means I'll be selling my H&R Springs and OEM Sport suspension real soon. Save yourself the hassle of installing the springs and hit me up if you're interested.

That's sick! Wonder if I could pull something like that off with the 4motion 4 cup kit. I definitely would go 4 cup if I do it. Would really fit well on the crappy Chicago roads here!

ha, i just read that as well. Must have missed your post.

sweet man!!! i cant wait for your z to be on the cup kit :tup: congrats bro

Nearly two weeks after I ordered it, PWJDM finally shipped my carbon fiber cooling plate. Im concerned about the fitment and finish, but hopefully I can figure something out. I already talked to Carbon Fiber Element and he said he can strip the crappy gel coat and reclear it for me, so I'll do that later this winter.

Phantom also has the cups and coils to complete my suspension, unfortunately the springs that come with the stance coils are too thick for the cups so I had to order new swift springs for the front. Im hoping I can get everything back by the week of Christmas to start the install.

Oh I've listed my suspension and wheels for sale as well. Here's a link if anyone is interested.

Can't wait to see!

started searching for my next set of wheels. What's everyone think of the Work Meister M1R?

http://www.workwheelsusa.com/media/w...colors/281.jpg

Man...I thought you'd do something very different when you put your wheels up for sale. These look very similar.

I respect that... My search has just started, but I definitely want to stay with the "mesh" look and I'm definitely going with 19" and bronze on bronze or black on black.

Very nice. I love the bronze wheels on your car.

Both wheels look great! :tup:

i saw those yesterday... although they are similar im not sure i like them as much. Plus they are three piece so they would be heavy (not that im to concerned about that) and i dont think they come in bronze.

Yeah. Both wheels look great! I just thought you might go a different direction and was eager to see something new! . When I make my wheel choice I think I'm going to stick with a mat blk or gray. I always get worried colors like the bronze might go out of favor at some point. Although, if you only keep your wheels for a year or two this is not an issue. Lol

i would think if you know the right people you can get bronze. i normally only get 3 piece wheels when i traded my SSR's for the forgestars monoblock wheels wasnt back but i think only monoblock wheels im going to buy for now on are going to be volks (even though ive never bought a set) haha

I can most likely help with a set of Forgelines, They have some great looking and VERY nice wheels. Lots of color options also, They are local to us and I have dealt with them previously. http://www.forgeline.com/product_ima..._image-820.jpg

Gotta stick with Work Wheels. Ive had two sets and I've loved them both. Mark we'll be talking as soon as I sell my GS4s and after Cincinnati Cavalcade is over.

Finally got my calipers on and my car back on the ground. Feels good to make some progress. I also had time to test fit the GT Spec Strut bar and I'm taking it to paint soon. I'll post pics of the install and a write up soon. I went a different route than others and cut individual holes in the interior panel for each bar, it makes it look like the car came that way, however I cracked one of the interior panels and being the perfectionist I am I'm looking to replace it. A note to others considering this bar, it's perfect for a harness bar. I test fitted my Takatas on it.

Oh I also received my PWJDM cooling plate... It's terrible. Worse than others have documented. Now I have to deal with their terrible customer service and have to file a Paypal claim.

The callipers look great! Where did you get them done?

Mike the powdercoater.

I thought so. He's the best. I'll have to get a shipping quote, I bet it's an arm and a leg to send my callipers to him and ship them back.

That is just a shame with the cooling plate. They actually thought they could pass that off on someone :shakes head:

I need to get my calipers to Mike at some point before Spring. Only issue is I dunno what color to go with since my wheels are FZero blue. That purple looks awesome!

I agree, it's a joke. I bought a fiberglass kit yesterday and im going to try to fabricate something similar to their design over the xmas break. Once im done (if all goes well), im just going to send it to CFE to wrap in carbon fiber.

The door panels look awesome. Too bad one broke!! even worse the cooling plate:shakes head: im still looking forward to the strut bar install. That's gonna look crazy sick:yum:
