Cup holders are a factory option. I bought them from my contact in Japan. Not certain I can get them any more though. They have stopped making many of the factory options

Rockit has raised his coilovers so that it has a decent amount of clearance with this kit, so it is possible to do. In the end though, you just have to be aware of what you are doing and adjust your driving accordingly

    Of which, the car is used as a daily driver... So there is no issues...

    But there are 2 car parks I know I can't get in to ...
    I just had to add it ......

    If you can still get the cup holders I would definitely be interested in a set they look a lot more useful then the one behind the gearstick

        No... white is the best color!
        Though, that Evo X blue would look just right on an FTO too I think ;)

          Haha, you have always commented how much you like Gholdies color, so you are going to make a blue GPV-R

          17" (45 series tyres) with Apexi Lowering Springs. The kit makes it substantially lower though, so to get the same effect, youd need a kit that lowers it about the same.

            Yes I have always been torn between a blue similar to that or white. Though I think white would (at least for the FTO) take my pick. Don't underestimate how nice a really shinny white FTO would look ;)

            If I had to criticize your car, I would say that I don't like that little bit that covers the reverse light

            I think Aza shares your opinion. Personally, Id like to somehow integrate the project F lights I have into the mix, but until I get new lenses, thats not going to happen (lenses are yellowing). I think that would change the equation though and until I get that sorted, loath to make any other changes there yet.

              I like it but just not enough to have it on the car so I cut them off the bar. But over all I think it's a great looking bar and well worth getting.

              I think considering the car is white and the rear bar has black accents, then tinting the rear lights would look decent.
              Then maybe hacking the inside of them and install halo LEDs for lights/brakes
