Thanks again guys. When I get the 07+ tails on and give her a good waxing I'll take some better pics of the beast.

Nicely done! I can't wait for my parts to get in so I too could show off my Pewter car.

I dunno, I plan on getting a rear carbon diffuser so I want to keep the carbon lip to match. As for the grill, I'm thinking about it...I'm just too scuuurrred.

My rear tires ( Pirelli P-Zero Corsa System ) were WAY wider than my Toyo's T1R's were ( 275 vs. 285 but the ACTUAL difference was HUGE, like 1" wider ) and sometimes hit the wheel well when I get a nasty dip on the road so I'm getting the hammer out soon.
Nice car! I just bought the same color a few months ago and now seeing yours I am liking it even more. Question: How did you lower front end, with star lowering or different springs? Thanks!

Damn, it's looking really good GT-ER! I'm not a big fan of those wheels, but you've got the rest of it so right that they work. Nice job.

Hmmm...interesting, I think you are the first person to tell me that he doesn't like the wheels. I'm perfectly fine with that since it's obvious that not everyone will like them, but surprised it took so long for someone to say it. Thanks though.

I'll tell you what, I changed them out and don't even know why since I don't hate the older style and don't LOVE the newer style. It's something that I did "just because", and although I like it, I never lost sleep over the old ones.
