Well, here it is! I know I certainly enjoy looking at all of your cars so hopefully you will enjoy looking at mine :). I'm working on quite a bit right now with this beauty and hopefully within the next month she'll be up to all of your standards!

Cheers,
Thomas

lol, dang Rod you posted like the second after I responded to Koizumi. I've had her for believe it or not 8 years already!
It was not until recently I discovered all the neat forums and do hickies online!
I haven't done much but I have a lot in the works, I have installed 6000k HIDs, Dinan Transmission chip, M-Technik Pedals and such,
but I'm within a week or so of ordering the my new set of 18" B505s! and the euro style side mirrors will be close behind!

Thank you all for your nice comments :)!

Cheers,
Thomas

Light Beige interior! Although I really am thinking about redoing it in white :o.

Wayne I'm with you all the way, and I can't wait!

Rod, I think it's kind of up to personal preference and judgment. I ending up sticking mine right in front of the light where the front bumper lips(sorry I know that doesn't make much sense.) But I believe there are atleast 2 other places you can safely attach it, depending on how you want to do it!

Looks real nice. Glad to hear you're a long time owner. You guys in Calif must have some smooth roads. With the potholes we have in Colorado, I'd bend a 19" rim on the first drive!

thanks for the nice comments guys :).

Rocky, sadly bro we have quite a collection of potholes... you memorize where they are and avoid them :).

Once you go past 17" the tire prices climb rapidly, plus the ride gets harsher. I personally think 17" gives a nicer ride whereas 18" the ride is acceptable but handling performance improves. If you've got the bucks and performance is your priority then 19" is what most seem to like (watch out for pot holes and steel construction plates).
