Those are the only wheels I want for the car, lol. When it's finished, it will basically be a street version of the PTuning tC (Same exact exterior, without the CF and Advans, basically a more 'tame' approach). I just don't have $3,000 to drop on a set of Advan RZ/RS wheels though

. My Enkei's are the same color, they're just not as hot and don't fit anywhere near as nice as the Advans would lol. There is still a lot that I want to do to the car, but I'm calling it finished once the Kami parts and clutch go in.

As do I. I just don't have the heart or the stomach to cut through my dashboard. I wouldn't be able to deal with the gapping hole if I had to go back to stock. That's my entire reasoning behind it...I know it looks like ___ and I know it's a ricetastic move...but I find justice in my decision lol.

See if you can find a dash from a junk car. Use that one instead! so when you convert back to stock, no holes!

I considered it, but you can only see the intercooler if you're head is level with it and you're looking straight at it. The 08 grille hides it pretty well when you're looking at it from above or at an angle. At night, it's virtually impossible to see because the VRD fogs produce just too much glare. Plus the car isn't as much of a sleeper as it 'could' be, primarily because I have a Boost snail sticker on the back and front window

. I just wanted to keep it clean and at the same time give some hints.
