Here is what I used for starters. Aluminum polish was for under the hood. Turned out awesome.

I use the same kit, love the results! I also use their Ultimate Wax to finish it off.

What seats are you running? I'm looking at getting rid of my ssl seats for something more comfy.
What body work was required to run 285's?

In your build thread it's +38? Any rubbing? Spacers?

Those are Recaro black leather poll position seats. The brackets are from 425 Motorsports. This is a really awesome company.

That is a typo, I'll fix it. The rims are actually Rota G-force's 18x10 +35 with custom rear end links and 5mm spacers up front. I can run up to a 305 with the right offset rim/tire combination. On these I can do a 295.

A good setup is Enkie RPF1 18x10 +38 with 5mm spacer front & rear. You will need to roll and pull the ish out of your quarter panels because you're on an OEM end link.

I think R/T Ernie & Robispec both make the end links. I'd hit up R/T first though.
