19 lbs with tires? If so, thats light! My rims are heavy as hell with tires. I was also thinking the rears were too tall, a 275/35/18 or the 295/30/18 like you mentioned would have been a better setup. Any rubbing issues? Do you have coilovers? Are your fenders rolled? 10.5 is a lot to get in the rear, but the setup looks great!
P.S.- I've said this before, but you take great pictures. I want an SLR to step-up my picture taking skillz .

You should get into SLR photography. There's a lot to learn but it's fun to get out there, take some pictures, and then see your pictures get better and better. Plus, these days you don't have to break the bank to get a good DSLR, you could probably get started for $500-600, depending on what kind of equipment you get.

Just an update...got new side skirts fitted (garage sale)... ..Not to sure who makes it... but the fitment is pretty good... made of fibre glass...around $110 US is what I made for it.
Next thing is to get proper tyres...RE050's or something (work for Bridgestone NZ) bloody got 205's on it @ the moment...and they break traction very easy...its side ways action if not careful.
cheers..

Woah, holy crap! If I went '99 spec we'd practically have twin cars! Crazy...
Do you still have that rear diffuser on? I've been thinking about saving up for one, but I'm not sure how it would look with my car. Besides, in CA it's better to have a more OEM look these days...
