MCR GT-R R35
MCR fitted a pair of exhaust tips made by arc, instead of dual pipes its one pipe per side.

closeup of the tip

MCR also brought some 19"'s for its GT-R.
http://kultivate.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/mcr-r35-gt-r-new-wheels/
this will make the GT-R have a better acceleration and allow people to use a lighter rim than stock (for alot of money anyway!) and ditch the expensive runflats that come stock.
