thanks to Dexter. Black vinyl'd the chrome trim around the windows. Makes such a big difference in the look. And those Window visors are from AVS. They actually have a advertisement banner here on CL. Look out for them. Cheaper alternative to the JDM visors.

Cars look real clean! Love how the view is somewhat distorted in the backround! Pics are awesome! I'll volunteer my black IS for pics if you ever need one with Big Brakes!!

Both cars look great, I especially like how the black out treatment was done. The window visors are the least attractive feature on the SGM car IMO.

Thanks everyone!

We tried to capture the best view of San Francisco, but those damn Lexus got in the way, sorry about that...

I want to thank my boys at Wheeldude.com. You guys are the best! It was another fun photoshoot for us.

Mr. Wheeldude, as always your camera skillz are amazing. And thanks for the wake up call at 3am!

And before I log out, I think someone asked what suspension I'm running. I'm running TEIN coilovers - 1 finger gap front and rear. And I think that's as low as I want to go. I tried tucking the wheels the other day, not functional at all.

And in regards to all the black trimmings/vinyl design. I did all the work.
