Thanks for sharing the pics. Next time don't show me your garage, mine is full of bikes, hockey equipment and kids toys. (Yes I have garage envy )

That's an airplane hanger. I wish it were my garage. I also wish I could have ripped down the runway a couple times.

Krozi, I finally stopped being lazy and installed the roof spoiler today.
I put my roof spoiler months before my trunk spoilers. I was completely happy with just the roof being done, but since I had the trunk piece, I finally did it after my friends pushed me long enough.

That looks excellent. For some reason I always thought of the calipers as small, but once painted, they actually look quite proportional.

Nicely done.

Thanks. These were the first wheels\tires setup I ever bought. I knew I wanted the Hankooks based on having a set for my last car (Infiniti FX35)
