I have to say, from t0e's point of view, and my personal opinion.

Phillips IS-f hands down, looks bad @ss in person, somehow the kit doesn't pop in pictures, but it looks good when you look at it live.

I just might have to steal his car!

Top 5 out of all IS-F's I have seen.

Mine would be #1 if i had one

Sorry, not trying to be a ****, just wanting to get a better grasp as to the reasoning, cus aren't these things like 4K's just for fronts? His money, anyway...
You don't really need them, but they certainly wont degrade the performance of your car.

Love the wheels, just not sold on the aero kits. Anyone know the weight of the wheels compared to stock?

Maybe it's just me but the Vip F with wheels look decent. And everything else except stock wheels look like crap. I can't live with my F not having a big huge 5 inch rear lip and 3 inch lip in front. I'm coming from a 350z and had gangster offsets and it's either huge fat lip or no lip at all. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to obtain super agressive offsets for this car and clearing the brakes. Big ups to the guy with Volks. I've had Volk sf challenges, te37s, and gt's wheels before so I understand the excellent quality of jdm forged wheels! Forget what these haters say who have stock F wheels, because they aren't being original like you are bro.

Nice rides! Very distinct styles, I must say. The WALD kit is over-the-top, but it's perfect for a show car. The RE30s are clean. 20" GT30s woulda been nice too! he he

I think the BBS stockers are hard to beat though. IMO they are nearly perfect for the car. But I'm gonna go with some new shoes myself, hopefully getting them mounted tomorrow.
