Whoa, I don't know how I missed this thread, but that is one AMAZING piece of art right there!

Next step: custom twin turbo just something to strive for I guess....heh.

Bob, simply amazing...love all the little subtle things that make it pop at you...

Awesome work at making a nice wide rim with the right offsets to sit flush as well as sitting on a meaty tire...

I wish the rear CF part wasn't as tall...if it was about half that size, it would look much nicer IMO...

I must hit up Joe @ Backyard to do work on my car now...

How is the tire size ride quality for daily driver?

I hate my car now....Just to let you know.

About time Bob, I was beginning to think that you forgot to debut the transformation of that work of art.

Those of you who haven't seen this car in person will never know how amazing the 3 tone paint turned out to be...it's unfortunate that the camera was unable to capture the detail on the black/dark dark blue metallic roof. Another two thumbs up for Joe and crew @ Backyard Creations.

BTW Bob, did you ever get those 12-14 tiny holes filled up? Hopefully that didn't give away too much.

Thanks again, all! Praise like this coming from my ClubLexus contemporaries (Dave, Adrian, Henry, Glen, Brian, William, Hameed, Johnny, Richard, Mike, Elizabeth, Derrick, "Mikeavelli," etc.) means more than you can imagine.

I built the car to showcase the various components and I was fortunate enough to be able to do it MY WAY... no compromises, no regrets.

I must give props to the awesome people in the aftermarket industry that helped make this all possible, some of whom I've mentioned already. I don't want to forget Fortune (RIP) @ Daizen, Todd @ TM Engineering (time for a new brochure? ), Bob & Jeff @ StopTech, Sandy & Leif @ Boston Acoustics, Earl of StarShield (and formerly of TRD), Rick @ Sundial Tinting, Jose @ Osorio's Upholstery, etc... and most of all my good friend Joe @ Backyard Creations. The work that comes out of his shop is mind blowing! By the way, if you need carbon fiber or paint work done, PM me for Joe's cell number!

I'll get some more photos this weekend, including detail shots and rolling shots.
Until then, here is one last photo I doctored:



Best regards,
Bob

Wow ........... Def one of the nicest 2GS ever. The wheels, drop, bodykit and especially the paint look PERFECT. The only change i would make is remover the carbon fiber stuff.

Just amazing work, congrats.
