What did you do to your Type R today?

[fatherpain]

Adjusted the leather shift boot. After setting the Acuity full shifter on the lowest height, the boot was sagging abit and looked deflated.

Flipped the Acuity titanium shift boot collar from this position, where it couldn’t be seen very well...

To this orientation where it might stand out better.

Then reinstalled the boot collar and took up some of the slack.

Shifter dressing reinstalled with some of the slack taken out and boot collar now visible

Ordered my new wheels after months of agonizing over what to buy! I went with a set of TE37-SL’s from System Motorsports today, +45 offset 18X9.5 in pressed graphite finish. I love the unique look compared to the conventional finishes and having the same convex face angles as the +38 version made this a no brainer for me. I also got a set of Project Kics R40 Iconix black lugs with locks and black caps to finish the setup. The tough part for me was deciding between double pressed black and the pressed graphite. In the end I figured the grey would hide the brake dust better than the black and I didn’t want to copy Tom who has the same CTR (Championship White) I'm soooooooo happy the search is OVER!!

Thanks Omar! It's been a LOT OF TIME involved in figuring out what to get! I didn't want to get something that I didn't absolutely love. I wanted to do it one and done.

I'll post up pics when they get here and when I get them on the car!

Wow Hermann, the TE37 SL Pressed Graphite’s look absolutely fantastic.. those pics are killer. Looking forward to seeing them installed on your car man.

Love the color choice and wheel design. I likely will get similar lugs, maybe in a titanium finish if they make them.

If you find a good deal on center caps and adapters, please lmk

Absolutely, I'm already on it Tom! I went with those lugs because they won't mar up the wheels in the lug area.

Lmk which ones you decide on. I’m leaning towards Michelin Pilot Sports but am curious if there are better options. I’m 100% DD at the moment with plans to try out the track sometime n 2020.

I definitely will.I'm ABSOLUTELY going with a very aggressive selection (Nitto NT01, Toyo R888, RE71 or similar) because I only drive it in good weather and want no compromise performance.
