Havn\'t sorted any proper pics of it yet but will do that later on this week.

I loved the lines of the car before. Made it very subtle but yet agressive
Now you got it ALL agressive. But hey, whou could say no to carbon! :D

that looks really good i would definetly be pleased with that :cheers

Woah GT racer! That is fantastic! Very jealous.

chrno

Thanks guys! :)  If I was to change my spoiler to a GT wing I would have the same look as the Touge monster..  I am also thinking (have been for quite some time now) to put the mirrors on the front fenders.  But next big thing to change is S-tires and Enkei GTC01 rims..
Just made a quick photoshop conversion and it will look something like this.. (except the colors of the rims are too bright on this pic)

Looks fantastic with that splitter, helluva thing! Don\'t Amemiya put the mirrors out on the wings? Always think it looks slightly odd, but maybe that\'s cos it reminds me of my old Morris Marina, and the thing I remember most about them was that you could never see what was behind you, which was sorta the point!
 
The trouble is that your car already looks so fantastic, it\'s probably easier to make it look worse than better! Those wheels would suit it perfectly, though imo

chrno

Regarding the Mirrors, yes. RE-Amemiya does exactly that. It\'s their mirrors I want to put on. I got to sit in a guy\'s car at a FD meet in Japan last summer, and they really show what\'s behind you. Plus you get the "dead angle" far more up front so it\'s easier to see cars overtaking you. (Not that anyone can :D:D:D)
Only problem is the quality of the mirrors... So I think I will stick with these for a while.  I also agree with putting more things on there will just look silly. I have known for a long time that this is the look I want. Subtle but agressive. :P

Thanks for all the comments again guys!

That looks fantastic...although now you\'ve got the splitter I think you definitely need the GT wing.  Maybe the GTII though, the mounts on the GTIII look a bit chunky and nasty.

chrno

Jake: That\'s what I think too.. And regarding wich wing.  The GTII won\'t be easy to get past the police here, the GTIII is not as wide and have rounded "edges", but as you say. The mounts are awful. The best looking one is the FEED or the Auto EXE one.. but they arn\'t Amemiya so I will kind of spoil the appearance..  Will have to think about it a bit more.

Jake

Yeah if you were doing a compilation of parts then probably the FEED wing but your whole exterior is Amemiya so the wing will have to be :cool

Having a white car are you not tempted by getting some bronze wheels?  CE28N or the new RE30 would look amazing.

chrno

No,I had the Bronze TE37\'s on. But I am very tired of Rays, everyone has them. And tbh the RE30\'s doesn\'t look that good when on the car. I looked alot at the different options whilst in Japan, both last summer and this winter. And the CE28\'s and the RE30\'s looks better on the paper than in the flesh.  And Amemiya uses the Enkeis, so I feel oblidged. :P

gregmacd

OK another 2p and feel free to ignore me and do what you want but as you have such a beautiful white car have you considered white wheels?
 
I think the combo is absolutely gorgeous. You also might want to consider a simpler wheel design to make it easier to keep it clean (says the bloke with 10 spokes :2Rolleyes).
 
And definitely get some sort of carbon rear wing. I think you will stop traffic and cause pedestrains to walk into lamp posts.
 
Fine work that man.

Jake

Fair point.  If you\'re going Amemiya style what about the Enkei RPF1\'s that used to be on the old Touge car.  I\'m not a huge fan of the new enkei\'s, the RPF1\'s always look really clean.

Hehe, I appreciate your arguments, but as far as the wheels go, I want the GTC01\'s.. :P  White do look VERY VERY nice on a white car.. And I was thinking of the mazdaspeed ones in white, but they are no longer available.
Regarding cleaning. I know how RExtreme thinks of cleaning his. :P

Wing is as I said an issue for the future.. I don\'t think I can keep my fingers of a GT wing.. But first is tires, wheels, brembo brakes,autoexe braces upper and lower, some pillowball mounts and some carbon shrouding for the ic/rad.

And I just realised they have released a new Enkei model..  RS05  Looks pretty sweet aswell.. Aaaaaaah  these choises in life!!!
