    That looks amazing, what are they? The GruppeM airbox is to die for as well!

    Nice car. I noticed you have a switch for a front lift system, is that aftermarket?

    Same question on the FAL.

    I'm likely going to swap suspension in mine at some point as well and can put on the KW coils with FAL built in. How did you get that integrated?

    Love the airbox! I'm going to have to do that too.

    Yes! I have a KW HLS fitted with Nitron coilovers.

    I don’t believe KW makes coilovers for our cars. I had to retrofit them to work with my Nitrons. Only required slight modification to the spring to seat in the cup properly.

    I don't know, that looks really, really good.

    It's sort of in the "OEM+" vein with the wheels so maybe a purist wouldn't even mind...

    I'm a purist and I love the car and certainly these shots!

    I love your passion and the fact you have an ITO exhaust.

    It’s an F50 axle lift switch. Sourced it from Japan. They’re pretty tough to find, as you can imagine. There’s a potential StickyRX has the file for it.

    I wish! They’re Recaro Pole Position. I would love to do F40 seats next :)

    Great job, Brandon! Very tasteful mods, that are off the mainstream. Very restomod. You will have to teach me how to do those centerlocks someday. :)

    Thank you! They are made by a company called Augment in Canada. They are inspired by the OZs found on one F50 GT.

    Did they also make the center lock adapters? I didn't think there was any better wheel on a 355 than challenge speedlines but you've raised the bar.

    Man, these are the best 348/F355 aftermarket wheels I've seen so far. Top taste!

    Just curious, how did you find about this particular model? I've visited their page but they don't seem to have it listed in their standard catalog.

    They will make you *whatever* design you want. I had them make this for me, as the F50 is my personal favorite vehicle.
