Thank for stopping by last weekend. It was good to see you and I'm really glad you were able to fit me into your schedule on such short notice. It was also fun to take you for a ride with the ITB's.

Took some pics at Richmound Beach during Sunset. Some came out nice. Also captured a new additions to the car.
Challenge Tow hook thanks for GT motoring's Black friday sale
Zoom Engineering Monaco Mirror thanks to Kami Speed.
Nothing major. My main priority right now is saving for summer. I need some real tires so I can do some track days finally. Also saving to buy a house with a garage big enough for me to both park in and work on the car in. 1 car garages suck.

Nice build. I like what you've been able to do on the car by yourself, especially the brembo brakes.
Two questions for you, for the zoom eng. rear view mirror, does it bother you with headlight glare? I find myself using the flip on the OEM mirror at times because I am not tall (5'7") and sit a bit lower with the bride rail. On the fence about buying this. My ASM side mirrors has been sitting at home because I wanted to replace the black rubber surround on the OEM mirrors, as weathering and owning the car for 6 years now has taken its toll on the surface. Is this only available with the OEM mirror itself as a whole? Any recommendations/tips on the install?

As for the zoom mirror I don't drive the car all that much but I will say I never found the flip feater on the OEM to be that helpful. I am 6 ft and have a BYS lower seat rail. I usually have my OEm hardtop on and I have a larger wind deflector that is tineted that I think help with the headlight glare. I still get blinded on occasion but not that much. I really like the mirror and install was also a breeze. It has just taken a while to get used to the new shape since its so different than the OEM shape.
