Looks good! But to finish it off, I agree, you should paint or add carbon fiber battery and engine covers.

Just Right.
Make sure you get the 14" long set. NOPI is selling a 16" long set, that does not fit

Dirty? Its the pics, bad lighting.

Ordered them from NOPI, but I had to go through NRG driectly, very helpful to get the right length shocks and return the old ones.
