I bought the entire kit, including canards. Just didn't post pics. Had to save something.
Thanks to all you guys. I'm really really looking forward to this.

Actually there are 5. You forgot the ballinest ( is that a word), lol) 8 of all with a lang and that is Pat's, Shinka213.
Pat is the OG vertex shinka
Good to see you AJ. I read your signature, and I love the Idea of the Enkei's.....and I recently had the RB catback exhaust installed.
Good choice!
Hell's yeah, I'm still here and I see you have attracted another young stud on the forums with your super sexiness.
Yeah the Enkeis are coming from a guy that is leaving the Vegas lounge and selling his 8 (A.Mairs) and they are really nice. The racing beat has a nice high end tone and not too obnoxious, I am too mature for that. 
I recently realized though that I have to find another CF hood.......Seems like Shink's and I have the same taste in those as well, and I can't completely copy her car. She is my inspiration though.

Anthony is selling his 8? WHY???????
I'm a bit mature for much more than the RB myself, .....which BTW......How did you know I was a red head?
As far as the car goes I think they will look different with the same hood, but I do have another choice in mind, and since I'm going for something very close to the R-magic wing, they will look totally different from the rear.
One more thing.....What kind of knowledge would I need to have to do an Axial Flow short shifter install? That is a definite interior mod.

I didn't know about japanparts's discounts however, I got a good deal from Vertex. I also didnt have to wait for months on end for all the parts because they are located in Cali. The bumper was 6 weeks from order to my door. Patience is not my strong suite when I want something.

It's easy you might break a plastic tab but it's all done with a 10mm socket and a tiny screwdriver to pry off the plastic screw caps. I can do it in about 5 minutes but that is because I have done it so many times. It might take thirty minutes your first time. Here is the DIY I used and it is the one on Richard's website:Short Shifter DIY
It's a great mod, the single best mod I have done so far the difference is night and day. Bring towels because the tranny fluid on the bottom of the stick drips and you don't want that on your Alcantara.

And I'm #8. How ironic! I saw a thread from another asking about the kit as well. It looks like they are on the rise again.
Chris, how's Kimmi doing? She's up in your area isn't she?
