You mean the navigation and audio system which I definitely use more than you do your JDM rain visors?

I didn't buy it for looks or bling.

Don't get your panties in a bunch...my point is that the JDM visors, unlike a V-limited lip, for instance, are costly AND don't add that much in terms of looks or functionality. That's all.

i have no bunched panties.

bling.

I dont see the difference between the Vlimited Lip and the JDM rain visors....their both extremely expensive pieces of plastic that really serve no drastic purpose, but to look cool....sure the vlimited is suppose to give you some downforce, but is that downforce really noticeable? also, the rainguard are suppose to allow you to open your window to block the rain, but are they really that efficient in doing that? they both mainly serve one purpose.......they look good!

[nandanrp]

The V-limited is more noticeable than the JDM rain guards.

This is a pointless argument, I'm done.

[MKTURBO]

at least i do agree with you on that!

[kyle sti]

clean car. question, when they applied your tint, did they take off the symmetrical awd sticker on the back window? or did they just apply tint over it?

[MKTURBO]

they questioned me like a reliable shop should if i wanted them to remove the awd sticker and roadside support sticker.......they said the tint would apply well either way.....personally i thought that it would look cleaner if they were removed so i told them to remove it..............

[Trey05STI]

Matt - Car looks good but lets see some pics of the tint during the day out in the sun. your garage makes it look really dark.

[MKTURBO]

its not that dark.....im going to take a bunch of pictures of it in the sun once i get the JDM rain visors friday.....trey you should do gingerman this saturday......thats where im heading to.....

[MKTURBO]

Alright guys yesterday i had the oppurtunity to track gingerman for the first time through speed trial usa. Gingerman was a very cool track with two high speed straightaways and lots of sweeping turns with one technical section. It was an awseome experience and i think that now i have experienced a track day, i probably will never go back to an auto-x. it makes a auto-x seem like a walk in the park. i had the distinct pleasure of being coached by a fellow iwsti'er covert747 which was awseome, anyways now to the pictures.

Here is My setup at the track, which proved to be ingenious because nearly half of everyone not currently out on the track wanted to come chill underneath the canopy because it was 85 degrees out....




here is ricky's (covert747) car in the pit......damn that car looks good with the s203 wing and volk time attack 18x8.5" wheels




Here are some picture of me comming down the back straight...













Here Are some of the drift cars at the event.....






notice the Home depot special turbo couple sitting on the fender well.....







Here is one of the sweetest turn-key race cars you can buy....its called a radical and its freakin' sweet....can anybody say 1300 pounds, 600 hp, 7 speed neumatic smg tranny......hell yeah

Full carbon fibre body...







3 piece 16'' racing wheels with 1 lug racing hubs....not to metion look at those brakes....




digital race display similar to a f1 car......



suede race wheel with billet paddle shifts mounted for the neumatic 7 speed transmission, also the wheel had a digital gear indicator on it

[RacerXS]

i actually asked the guy what it cost....he told me $155k but he really didn't seem to care, he had a brand new eclosed trailer, and a brand new 2008 ford f350 turbo disael haling it........also i metioned that the radial was similar to a factory five cobra in that it has a full tube chassis and the body just sits on top of it....then he proceded to tell me that he had one a 8 other cars the got lost in a barn fire........i asked him how many cars do you have.....he told me more than his old mind can count........


the track is in michigan.......it's semi-small but lots of fun....
