thanks for the responses guys.
all the aero parts are from feed japan, and if you purchase the front from them, the combo lights + covers come with it
i'm on tein HA coilovers, and my car is actually really low. the only reason it would seem otherwise is because the shots were taken utilizing a dvd player box as a tripod. i only have maybe 2.5 inches of clearance. it might not look too low because i'm riding on 17's, and i should be picking up advan RS's in 18's pretty soon, which would fill in the wide front and rear gap pretty well.
i also have a set of authentic RE-A sleeks that are going in, once my friend figures out how to fabricate a fiberglass enclosing for the HID projectors.

Hey Isaiah, this is Mike. I met you a LONG time ago at Steve's shop when you had the stock body (Vintage Red) paint. Your video is pretty cool, the car is badass. I actually HATE bodykits, but your car looks awesome, doesn't even look like an FD anymore. I have seen it up close; I was even at Steve's house one night when he was working on it and detailing it for you You still talk to him? PM me if you like. I haven't talked to him for a while, tell him I said what's up and my car is running like a champ!
Here's a couple of pics I took a few hours after I dyno tuned my car...

Thanks Isaiah!
I just looked thru your car domain and your car is NICE!! So, are you going to keep your for the long run or going to go different route?
FM-10.. I don't know.. I have to see it on the car.. but as of now, I kind of like the Volk RE30. Like Kenny's car (Zonblitz).

did spell out my life story on high chances of keeping this ride!

OMG this baby is stupid fast! Pics...
Just picked up my R1 today. Checked the compression--good. Turbo spins very smoothly and has less lag than the BNR stage 2 that I had on my FC.
Interior is a little ratty. I need to change out the passenger side interior door handle and the radio surround as well as dye the seats.
This baby is stupid fast! I can't even perform any decent timing tests as at full throttle I can't keep it straight in the first three gears.
I took it down one of my favorite roads to terrorize in my well modded Miata which I can usually drive at 80-100% throttle. All I say is I scared the crap out of myself.
Here are some pics I took with my phone.

a.) Don't wrap any car around a tree or park it in a ditch or spin out on a public road (like I did the Miata)
b.) Don't break anything expensive like an engine or a turbo
c.) Don't get arrested for excessive speed
