there will always be something on someones car that they did , like a mod because they seen it somewhere else first! there is no one on this forum who has 100% mods that no one else has. at some point you will have seen something on another members ride that you liked and decided to do it to yours. copycat.....lol on his high horse. im willing to bet he did something to his car that he seen on another, maby didnt do it exactly the same but took the ideal or look of of, now thats still copying.

Got info directly from him that he had his Authentic Wald Spoiler molded and the quarters raised. I went ahead and bought a rep and molded and raised the quarters myself from the pics he provided me. I was the second person to raise the quarters with the molded wald spoiler now just about everyone has it, so what? There was another member on here that I saw that even used Marianos car as a platform. I've had a ton of members messaging me about both my LFA's and my RC10's when I got them. Along with how to wrap the roof and other mods that I've done myself. And I'm always happy to help them bc at one time I didn't know nothing about this car.

ummmm...
super charger doesn't gain much hp for a 250 or 350 and I'm sure most members know that by now and I don't see how its related to helping others out but ok? Well good luck to you I hope your custom secret off sets gets you alot of compliments on your ride man. BTW I swear I didn't copy u by buying Starfire pearl

^ what Jon said. I'm not trying to be a "copycat" on your fitment VIS250P, im just trying to get some ideas on how to fit my wheels right (they are already lying in my garage)

hence, i appreciate that you would share your wheel spec with the rest of CL members, but if you don't thats cool if you want to keep it to yourself the purpose of this forum is to help each other out so that everyone could enjoy modding their car without bumping into the same issues (and waste time and money) which prior members encounter

Raj I know how you feel, I waited 2 weeks for my LFA reps, and I waited 5 months for my rohanas! The worst part is when you get the tracking number. I checked it like 50 times a day. And it gets really bad on the day you know its supposed to arrive. At night I was anxious and couldn't sleep and in the morning I woke up early! Then you just stare at the clock until they arrive thinkin to yourself WTF is the delivery truck?!

LOL!!! Yes, I'm EXACTLY like that! I'll stay home and not go anywhere just so I don't miss the delivery truck!

For my wheels, Its been 7 weeks so far (ETA to build was 6-8 weeks)

Yup... current wheels are curbed to death and slightly bent - not worth fixing. So I ordered new ones

They should defiantly be here by then (Knock on wood).

And am I reading that right, 22"?!?! Can't wait to see it
