Thank's for the positive comments guys.
There hasn't been much progress as of yet as my workshop wants to complete all remaining cars so that they can purely focus on mine.
I'm expecting them to focus on it by next month. That's when the fun will start.
Initially I had my heart set on SSR SP3's, but to work out the dish and offset size I needed a sample wheel to see what would be able to clear my front callipers.
My workshop had a set of 19x10.5 SSR SP1's laying around and threw them on. When they emailed me the pictures I wasn't really keen on them untill I saw them in the flesh sitting on the car. The pictures don't do them any justice. They looks very agressive and the brakes fill the wheel up really well.
In saying that, below is a pic showing how close the wheel is to scrubbing with the brakes - 18's would never fit around my brakes.

haha, glad you like them boss...
Anyways, I'm "iEvoVII" on here.... Most other forums I'm "EvoXenoN"
Head light specs:
Both the red projector set and MYKK's blue/purple set are exactly the same, just different colored projectors..
*They started life as a JDM VII GTA (automatic) set, full chrome housing including turn signal.
* low & high beam housings have been dremeled wider to fit E46-R shrouds
* OEM projector has been removed and an FX-R BiXenon (low & high beam) has been installed in it's place with custom brackets. Headlight still has full adjustment and levellng motor functionality.
* the 3" glass lens from OEM projector has been installed in the high beam housing (rest of projector thrown away). It DOES NOT light up AT ALL... It's only there to give the "Quad Look"
* custom aluminium shields painted blue/purple and installed inside projectors

The choice of the fluro yellow/green wheels came about early on when I would attend trackdays only to find several evo's all looking exacly the same - either white, black or gunmetal wheels. I wanted to stand out and ended up intially spraying my spare set of wheels at the time (8MR Enkei's) fluro yellow. Eventually I grew out of the 17's and purchased a set of 18" Gramlight 57D's again in fluro yellow.
The car just demands attention on the track and thats exacly what I wanted. Mission accomplished I think?
Haha thanks for the words of encouragement Daniel.
Just a quick update:
- AMS CF Roof has been installed
- OEM Bumper is currently being moulded out of FG so that it can be customised
- Over fenders for the rear DO-LUCK kit have been moulded and are about to be put onto the kit
- Custom HL's have been completed by Steven (EvoXeNoN) - Projectors in blue/purple
- Rear Brembo's have been sent to be sprayed in the same colour as the Project Mu Blue/Aqua

I don't have any new pictures but I have a few updates.
Rear qtr's are now complete and have been stretched 10mm and we have moulded on a set of Z-Tune fenders (as seen on the first page of my thread). So the rear is now around +45mm on each end.
I decided to go with the Varis diffuser ver 2, but have only ordered the centre piece. I want to do something different with the returns but haven't decided yet.
The rear bar will remain std (JDM bar) but just pumped to merry up with the rear qtrs. The centre piece which is typically grey has been relayed in carbon fibre to match the diffuser.
I'm just worried that the car will look too busy. I want to avoid the overdone look which is partially why i've opted for the Do-Luck rear qtrs as they are quite tame in comparisson to the Voltex ones. I guess time will tell when the entire kit is put together.
The aim for completion is March 2012, just in time for my birthday - fingers crossed.
Will keep in touch.
