Thanks bro. I like it too, I wasn't to hot about the idea when Brian first told me about it, but now that I have it on it looks great.

Haha yes, that's it for the time being. Paying back a lot of stuff at the moment and then paying for school starting this fall semester so money is going to everything but the car right now and yes we do still need to get together brotha.

Thanks for the comments guys.. Small updates for everyone, nothing major. I'm still paying off other things and stacking some money for bigger things to come in the future.

I decided to take out my Scrara's, do a little test fitting, clean up the lips a bit and do some polishing on my interior wood pieces.






These are gonna sink in perfectly and allow me to tuck at about -3 camber, which is what I was aiming for.



All of my wood pieces were custom painted House of Kolor Black Pearl courtesy of Jeff Tsai, I never did wet sand and polish them so decided to finally do that.

After sanding:



After polishing:





Well this is all I really have for now. Maybe will have a bit more interesting stuff within a couple of months.

I never did need to find another, the seller HAS an extra that he promised to send me. He just hasn't sent it. I just keep getting a nudge here and there saying that it'll be shipped soon and it never gets sent out, so whatever i'm passed the whole wheel ordeal. I dunno what i'll do. Hopefully he'll actually send the damn thing to me. I really wish I could just go to my bank and be like 'Look, he screwed me out of 2.5k and never sent me my last product that I bought or sent me insurance money, I want my money back.' Unfortunately it doesn't work like that when it's a year after the fact.

Anyways moving on.... I've been very quiet lately not really doing anything to the car. I've been paying off credit card debts so that I can start 2014 fresh and be all play when it comes to the car, so here's a small update to a new retrofit that i'm having done.

I'll post more when I get more updates.

-: FX-R 3.0 Projectors in the Low Beam
-: G37-R Shrouds
-: Mini H1 Projectors in High Beam
-: Gatling Shrouds
-: Gloss Black Bezel

Thanks man. I really wanted to go for something that is somewhat different than every other retro plus I wanted it to flow more with the JP Grill and Scaras.

Slowly coming together, this is all I got at the end of the day though. Probably have the projectors mounted in tomorrow.

Thanks man I appreciate it coming from you with so much done with your ride! I love your car man! Oh I'm not doing the work on this retro, I have a guy from NY doing it who works for TRS directly and gets all his parts from them, sorry should have clarified, but I do detail cars so I know the importance of wet sanding when it comes down to it.

Will have some up in the next couple of days, its pretty much in the final stages and ready to be shipped probably by tomorrow. As I said I can't take any credit other than the ideas for the retrofit. I just told him what I'm wanting to do and he worked with me and made it happen, but this probably won't be my final retro. I have another one in mind that I want done, but that will have to wait as its a bit more intensive than your usual retro.

Almost there. We still have a couple more ideas for it, but almost done for the most part.
