No problem puredrifter , for a second i had to think real hard where i bought it from again.

Thank you as well Phucanese , the suspension is JIC's

Thanks stef , you don't need a course you need to use your minds eye and think of light as part of your subject. Slight adjustments in white balance and exposure . I drive by places all the time and say to my wife that would be a perfect place for a picture. She got tired of me always looking for a place to take car pics. I used 2 different cameras for the shots and they both are simple . I one day will get a nice SLR styled digital camera . The best advise is to learn which setting on your camera does what and take like 15 sots with a tri pod then compare them on a computer screen for preferences.

Thanks Bigkahuna , the HID's are phillips GEN 3 which is made perfectly for 9006 harnesses.

Thanks rice , having yellow headlights makes it real easy to drive at night without the glare and the crazy cutoff that makes it harder to see shadows. As well it is something different although i am seeing alot more people with yellow headlights.
In every other application of Orange the calipers would look ghetto but what i did was use an application that produces an anodized finish which is exactly the same colour as the Brembo big brake kits on other cars.It has metallic and a slight pearl then a clear coat added to it so it changes over angles and is no where near a flat acrylic finish . Most people just assume they are a BBK from brembo as they are 4 pots and the same finish. Adding a Lexus script won't work as the rim hides all flat surface on the calipers.

Thanks ktang235 and ra40

I put it this way rice ,if you had brembo brakes that were orange would you paint them black?
Like i said they are nto a normal ornage colour but more of a burnt copper . You don;t really understand until ou see the colour close up.

Thanks NEO , i think the subtle change in its finish has totally made the rims look much better than before and they were nice wheels to begin with.

I agree, they look very nice. I wonder if the wife enjoyed waiting for you while you were taking pics

Love the OZ wheels. Wanted to get them for mine, but didn't want to spend 3K for them.

Nice car, man.

Thanks grand , my wife didn't mind as she is in every single one of those pics as always. She has become quite immune to me always wanting to stop and take pics when i see a great location.
As she is always with me i don't have the time to readjust the cars angle in the pics . So in every location i use the car is in the exact same position ,i just move around it to save time and my marrige :P

Don't worry rice i know exactly what you mean as the colour i have chosen is not a common one to say the least and it does stand out from the crowd of silvers/reds/blue calipers out there.

Also thanks (the other) rice i love the style of wheels and also did not want to spend $5000 on them luckily i got them for a steal of $200 because i had to have them repaired and have the lips rewelded. It was done nicely so they are as good as new for a less than a 1/4 of the new price.

Thanks and Yes Br1an is right , the suspension is JIC sf-1 coil-overs.
They are from a UCF 10/11 but JIC says they do fit a ucf20/21 like mine.
I said sure and bought a set , would i do it again.
Yes and No.
I love the suspension as it drives like a dream for it being as low as it is.
Problem is that JIC said the suspension is the same for both models/ It is the same bolt patterns so they fit.
Problem is the shocks on the front are not as tall as they should or need to be.
My suspension is at full height up front which still does not get anywhere close to stock. I believe coil-overs should give you full adjustment above and below the stock level.
It would have not been much of if any problem at all but with 20's it is much bigger than before.

If i could do it again i would buy suspension made specifically for my year .
Wald , JIC's flt a2 or Tein's CS.

The best way would have been to buy a car with air suspension , get the computer controller and be done with the damn thing forever but have adjustment of height, dampeners and anything else you could dream of.
