Hey no probs.
 
the enkeis look pretty good - but wait until the 275s are on :)
 
The 40s aren't rubbing at all :D I'm going to re-lower the front again haha. up down up down. love coilovers :)
Plastic polish at home on the shelf ready to go.  I intend on cleaning the car up fully once the side skirts are done, it's just hard to justify keeping the car clean when I'm working on it so much and the side skirts look the way they do....

Looks good. Been thinking about powedercoating mine a slightly darker colour - they just get dirty to easily!
 
What actually size did you end up staying with (for the wheels, did you need  the spacer?)
 
Sorry if i missed it - whats actually wrong with sideskirts? They look good in pics and fit so well?

you can see a blackish colour around the bottom air intake vent.  The fibreglass at this point is actually damaged, and it looks like has been shaved off. not sure of why.  The other problem is the kit doesn't match the paint colour of the car properly.  It was a piss poor effort colourmatching.  If I was going to keep it, I'd want to pull off the skirts, get the section fibreglassed back up and then painted properly.  
 
But considering I got These  for $150 in perfect condition

I'll stick with the stock look with big pokey rims :)
edit: it's a nice birthday present for me :) I'll post pix on Sunday when I put the pod things on :)

friend of mine scours yahoo auctions... 
that's $150 delivered from JP (via container)
 
and that includes the moulding strip in white... now I just gotta find the rest of them... :| for the full set.
 
I've got a boot and full rev 1 spoiler coming over for around $350 :) makes me happy in pant :)
 
maybe I should look at painting the headlight surrounds white too... and adding HIDs...

ok the intakes are on.  the underside of my car is painted black still, but the corresponding bits on the front lip and rear bar make it look a touch high.. car def needs a slight drop in height.
edit: sorry about the upside down iPhone pix.. u can tell ios5 is still in beta... :\
onto the pix.






now i need a better way to mount this. I would like a new front bar tho - since the paint is peeling in places on mine...

i have two full sets of rp-01s now. I had a set that came with my supra. so i'm using the rubber up on those.  I bought my other rims off ebay / nissansilvia forums.  The problem with buying rims from O/s was shipping price. Enkeis go for a heap on yahoo auctions jp too, so i was looking at $1000 for the 4 rims alone (with the perfect offset for mr2s) or i could get the +38 set i got for $600 delivered, so i took the latter option.
