so... howd you paint em? i'm getting the grey/silver combo and i think gunmetal would look pretty damn good on the car.

At stock height, the rear gap is smaller than the front. I have JICs on my STi, and the rear gap is smaller than the front as well. I can lower the front some more, but I don't want to rub.

Looks great, i would have gone with black but g/m looks cool with WR Blue. I am being a bit slow, but did you powder coat or spraypaint?

Did you take some of your touch up paint to Home Depot and say, "match this?"
My friend just moved into a house that has the exterior trim painted what can only be described as, "Barney Purple."
So yours is actually pretty tame.
Is your R1 blue?
