That wheel finish looks great with the car's color!

Thanks, BBS calls it "Diamond Black Metallic", but it does blend nicely with the Slate Grey Metallic of the car.

The key to enjoying a Tip while street driving is to do the downshifts manually.

Love the look of the GT2 package, cannot wait to install it. Very clean looking ride; I take it the back seat area is somewhat useless now...?

By the looks of the roll bars in the back, the backseats were useless long before the GT3 seats were installed.

Car does look amazing...

Still may be able to cram a small child in there though... so it does retain some practicality.

Must be a bugger to clean back there.

You don't want to be in an accident in a street car w/ a roll bar (at least in the backseat). My dad had one in a mustang growing up, but it was padded/wrapped in leather.
