yeah, that moving pic is cool. Those wheels are starting to grow on me, I'd powdercoat them black though

thats a good idea --- I was thinking of painting them (professionally) dark flat gray --- kinda like the audi gray ---


recently though Ive really been feeling the bronze slipstreams on ep's .... I hat the flat black ones --- but the bronze looks sweet... dont know why it makes such a diff --- maybe cause the black just reminds me of steelies.

thanks for the comments y'all

tommorrow I am going to take the day off and finsih my recent list of mods to do:

Install Rear Strut Bar
Tint/Fog Side Reflectors
Tint/Fog Side Markers
Install Front Lower Grill (grille-tech)
Mugen Shift Knob <--------- tough install

new pics hopefully soon - but ONLY after I wax it ... :-)

Do you know how much those rims weigh? Are they 15x6?

Like the wheels, almost wish they gave the option between the two when you purchase an EP. Just wondering, where did you get the Clear Hood Bra and did you install it yourself or have someone do it for you? Also, about how much did that cost?

No that's the "clear bra". It's optically transparent; the only places you can see it is at the edges--and since it does not cover the entire hood, what you're seeing is the edge of the clear bra.

On my car it's up another 3-4 inches on the hood than that, however. The material is all 3M, but depending on where the "kit" comes from it will be be shaped slightly differently.

I have 16's on the way -- and my camber is already out of wack (I had it measured)-- so I figured, do it right, get the new rims and camber on there all at the same time... Set it to 0, Woot.
