Just my personal opinion. Ball out on rare parts that are cool, not extra money for the same function unless safety/strength is being compromised.

Definitely agree with you on Fortune Auto and adjustable arms. I'm running two sets (510 series and Dreadnought) and have had zero issues with them. Running Ikeya Formula on the S15 simply because it already had them. Otherwise, I would be running SPL.

Pretty much. I don't feel like a purist by any means, I'm just stuck with the OE styling on these cars. I do admire a lot of the aftermarket aero out there, but considering my current lifestyle (60% work, 35% family, 5% cars), I just wanted my street cars to look classy and grab the right attention.
I can admit to almost having bailed on my projects due to priorities, but now I'm really glad I stuck it through.
