I got lucky and purchased the last one from ICB about a month ago.

I think that silver is a very close second to cw as the best dc2 color.

i actually think the jdm vsm itr on spoons is maybe my favorite itr.

i believe there was one imported to the us back in the mid 2000's HT days. it always looked soo clean.

If i could, I would have a CW itr and a VSM ek9. VSM just has so much sex appeal.

Agreed, the vsm is gReat. My gs-r is satin silver, and although not at the level os vsm is still very nice. Silver cars in general often look the best, across many models and types imo.

VSM FTW! Although I agree that CW along with MR are all very close in my rankings.

After looking at my headlight harness and the crappy soldering and taped up sections it had, i decided on replacing them with the cjs Wiring headlight tuck harness.

This is giving me flashbacks to ~2005, I recall converting my GS-R to JDM front and dealing with the headlight wiring. When I bought 98-1040 as a shell in '07, I had to fix the headlight wiring since the shell was JDM front. This kit looks like a clean alternative.
