@Jon, noted. And yea there is a reason why he don't post up anything about what he drives. At one point it was a tC which he hated cause mommy and daddy didn't buy him what he wanted..
@syldrin that might sway me to the asphalt.

I am a little on the disappointed side. The news was that they were going to do something along the lines of the Concept they built. Just a more streetable version. They were suppose to build a 5 lug version of the concepts wheels too, from what I seen on the FR-S/BRZ forum. It looks like a FR-S with a lip kit and rims and that's about it.
I noticed it's running two sets of wheels, different on one side vs other.

they are releasing those wheels, they will be on the edition fr-s (S7-F will be the model name for the wheels) I'm assuming they havent been made yet?

That ignore list is a pretty cool feature. Two new names added and instant thread clean up on your own screen, removing the clutter and erasing their post.
Ok, that would be cool if they do something along those lines.

My take on the 5:AD kit. The R5:F probably wouldn't be my wheel of choice but wanted to see what the stealth chrome might look like. I might mix it with the TRD rear well, because it looks so good. I still need to do the rear 3/4 angle:

^those look good.
I'm so stuck on whether I want it to look like a GT car, or a street cruiser. It will be my daily. I'm in love with the Try Koto designed kit. It's not as daily friendly but I can't get past it, it's just vicious looking.
