Ben, since you asked me about the hood to bumper clearance of the RE-Amemiya hood, all the authentic RE-Amemiya hoods fit similar to DriftFc3s's car, so if you consider that good clearance, then all the authentic hoods fit perfect.

I also have a new wing to add to that photo.




Not everyone's cup of tea, I understand, but I've been waiting for this wing since I bought the car.
Is that a Voltex wing or a SARD wing? looks good

It is a SARD 020 GT 1710mm carbon fiber wing with 1110mm Super High Long stays/mounts. Bought from RotaryLove, a vendor here.

good to know. I have a replica one right now, and an authentic one on the way, and yes, you were one of those people I was referencing. I do consider that good fitment, considering there are even cars in japan with much worse.

looking forward to close up/profile shots of that wing. was looking at SARD wings before I bought mine. loved the rear view of the SARD wing on that r-magic car, where it almost seemed concave.

Sard offers multiple wings. Some are 3D, some are straight-ish like mine.





I hope that helps

Sorry about the crappy cell picks. It was also a bad weather day to take pics.

Car desperately need some shine skirts, rear spoiler lip, and street diffuser. If only I could coerce my wife into allowing me but alas she wears the pants.

Eventually I'd like a stock 99spec front bumper as well.

Looks great. Only thing I would do as far as exterior was drop it an inch more and change the rims. Then again, it's just what I would do but it is your car and it is beautiful.

What was going on here?

It's pretty cool to see it stripped down to the skeleton.

yes the bumper is molded to the fenders I wasn't happy when they did it when I initially got the car painted a few yrs back. all I wanted molded was the side skirts. but thanks on the compliments. still a work in progress
