to the comment about my front lip I am actually going to paint it black again. I like how it looks painted but unpainted suits my car better. Painted in my opinion is for someone that is going for a more classic sport car look then an aggressive look.

this pic really makes me want a big brake kit... freaking so much room in the rim!!!!!

Actually, leaving your lip unpainted is more of a "classic" look IMO. Either way to each their own and nice SSM.

Here's a cool shot of mine:

Agreed, and I love the color! Also, clean & simple is my favorite approach & my plan as well.

I like the white painted faces. Please keep it as is and don't put some ugly body kit on it, car looks great.

Now, call Ray Crowe and order a new front lip It's been a while since I've seen a single turbo car running the stock plastic elbow! Some ducting between the IC and radiator might not be a bad idea either...

99.9% of the time, IMO most front lips look best in flat black. I do strangely like modifyed_driver's though. I think you/most FD's with a front lip & nothing to even out the lower front line they create, could reallly use some OEM front splashguards as well.

Thanks! That particular GTR was in my way for a good five laps before he finally gave a point by. I had to restrain myself from passing him in the turns, but he would pull in the straights.

Well we usually attend track days together, so why not snap some pics while we wait for our session to start
