New Wheels...Finally
So, I'm waiting for center caps, an alignment, possibly some minor spacers(after alignment), and aero to arrive from paint.
But, my 5 month wait is finally over, and I couldn't wait to snap a few pictures.
Full shoot once I get her all buttoned up. For now, it's a bit ragged. Enjoy.

First, Best user name ever. I literally LOL'ed.
Got the Shine Burnout replica lip and the Feed sides. We'll see how I like the sides ( not liking the look so far), but I'll have to wait to judge after they are painted and mounted. I can't justify spending the money on an MS kit through the dealer; although, that was my first choice.

Not all colors can pull off chrome wheels, but man, your blue looks sexy as hell with them!
Let me make sure I follow correctly... You pulled your air pump, relocated your battery and coolant bottle but are still naturally aspirated? You got something in progress there?

good choice! im either getting these or 3.3.1's from varrstoen for my future FD..
Havnt decided on what color im going to paint it though, metropolitan gray mica or possibly chaste white. Rim color depends on what i paint it.
Excellent wheels! RavSpec has a used bronze set in 18x9.5+35mm i believe for $1500 on sale.

If i paint white(i love white FD's, i feel they might be too common though) then id need WMB kiwamis,
if i paint metro gray(i can park it next to my metro gray 8 and use white wheels, and ive never seen the color on a FD)

Looks great OP, gonna take a shot and say Federal 595's 265/35 on coilovers? Like you said, many of the fitments now are much more aggresive, but this looks good and fills up the gaps nicely.
