All I think this car needs with the Volks is to get it lower, tint the windows and get the flangs painted black or CF as far as cosmetic goes.

How about 40th anniversary color?

Quote:
a high-luster smoke wheel finish, red brake calipers and 40th Anniversary badges on the rear hatch and front strut tower brace. Inside, along with the red leather-appointed seats are red door panel inserts, 40th Anniversary seatback and floormat embroidery, red stitching on the center stack, shift boot and kneepads, smooth leather steering wheel with red stitching and a plaque of authenticity. Every 40th Anniversary Z also comes with a commemorative premium satin car cover.




Then paint your calipers red and



What you think? If I were to paint my RAYS, that's the EXACT color I would paint. Looks amazing (at least to me )
