my re-11s are already wearing down so gonna have to order me some michelin super sports. although i love the re-11, they wear down quick, especially if you drive your hard sometimes.


Im thinking of picking up the full toms kit or just the downforce front and sides and keeping the euroteck rear. If anyone knows legit vendors that can get toms kit, let me know. although i got a quote from vip auto salon, all the negative feedback , im not trying to lose all that money or have any problems.

sorry for the weird angle, car parked on an incline which makes the front look high , but got the F on the lift for some underbody cleaning/wipedown/coat of sealant. feels good to have a car that is scrape/rust free from being so low for a change.







clouds were looking crazy, had to snap a quick pic

Looking good, especially with spacers. I'm running the Euroteck diffuser and love it but it sits kinda low and can get easily damaged on parking lot entrances.

I will try to get some pictures soon.

Yeah I can't really see the scraps unless I'm really close to the diffuser. I just know it's there.

Looks great with the spacers, you really don't need to buy wheels now lol. I'm glad we don't have to worry about anything underneath the F scraping. Just my front lip I have to be careful. My SC on the other hand scrapes frame daily lol.

lol, i know. but i honestly do love the oem wheel design, i just hate the offsets. i promise, im not a cheapo. scraping just gets old, but can't beat the look. i have new rule, i will only scrape cars worth under 10k, lol.

so most of you know, i bought my JDM visors off a moderator on here to beat the three month wait time form japan. i knew i was buying a used part which im always **** on condition but he assured me the chroming portion was excellent which was indeed. i knew however the black plastic portion was going to be swirled. most people that i use to detail cars for were. you have to basically treat it like paint.

here is what they looked like before.







used the PC7424 machine

i used lake country orange pad with Menzerna SIP at speed 6

then finished nicely with lake country white pad with Menzerna po106ff

looks brand new now.
