mostwanted is a smart guy, that's why he runs rotas(I too ran them on my STi) They are relatively light and the sizing is readily available in offsets that are mild to rare. The cost is win; the wheels most wanted has in the black finish actually look cooler to me than the volks; well done.

This thing is going to be a nightmare for supras and bikes

Haha, no fender liners on your car huh! Putting those back on for the street, or leaving it off?

Add too much, and you'll be back up around my weight

Brian, like I told you the other day, you may be the smartest guy in the forums. Now, I'm gettting jealous at how much fun you're going to have with Lana on the streets. We may have to follow your lead and do the same. Car looks great by the way.

Brian, I will be curious to see how you are able to mount the headlights when you get them back in. I assume you can just fabricate another bracket and mount the directly to the bumper, or will you need to do more work?

Wasn't hard at all and they are already in. Two existing mounting points were never touched.

scheides-I dont like being like everyone else. Thats boring and life's too short. I rather take it to the extreme, have a blast, and then return back. At least I can say I accomplished something As for this stupid comment "you mean besides the rest of us that leave our cars fully streetable and play with them daily?". Thats what my C63 is for. Bone stock it just went 12.6@113 in 100 degree heat and trust me I play with it daily

9sec9-Thanks and no worries. When you visit you can take Lana out for a cruise. I look forward to seeing you guys in Florida sometime soon...

Motor is finished and is being shipped Monday

Brian, for sure put the fender liners back in, be sure to do it before you drive it. If you don't the front fenders are going to get dented from the inside out, it makes a mess.

sorry to ask a question that has probably been answered, but what brand of carbon trunk is that? It looks fairly straight and like it fits well. Thanks -Eric
