I think it looks very clean. Not many Fs out there with VR G2.
As for the coilovers, try the compression to 1.5 sweep and rebound at 5 clicks in the front. In the rear, try the rebound at 7 clicks and leave the compression at the recommended setting. It'll help a bit with the weight transfer on the front axle when making turns.

Nice looking car. The offset and width of the wheels could be more "aggressive".
I thought about these wheels when I bought my car but with a 1 piece wheel you are very limited in offsets and sizes. That and the high offsets required on our cars usually means that the wheels aren't going to look as good on the F as they do on another car that can run lower offsets.
I like to have as much tire as possible along with an "aggressive" (tires flush with the fenders) look. If you don't care about tire width you can go the lower offset route and run stretched tires.
I'd imagine that TURBOCARS is running the following: (correct me if I'm wrong though)
19 x 9.5 + 45
19 x 10.5 + 35
I'd like to see pics as well.
BTW Rays is discontinuing the Face 2 Wheels so if that's what you plan on getting you'd better act fast.

Looks great! Definitely on the conservative side but clean and classy. I like that you stuck with genuine JDM goodness!
It's a bit embarrassing that some peeps here do not recognize Volks, man. It's a shame really considering other wheels that are out there. G2s are dope. 1pc forged, immaculate quality. I'm actually more of a TE fan than a G2 fan. I wish they made TEs in 20s that fit the F properly. I'd be all over it.

I had CE,TE before and I was thinking those are a bit too sporty on the F, so I had G2 when they were on sale...but I should've gone wider at the first place
TE is always sick at low offset, which requires much work needed to be done on fender that I try to avoid...

A bit more aggressive is what I planning to do next but I am still working on a balance setup, because F is also my family daily sedan.
Oh shame to know Face 2 is discontinuing, I saw couple E92s running on them and look really sick...
