i made a comment.. and i stand by my comment.. again.. the car looks hot.. but the oil cooler looks like an FMIC.. it would be best to have a real FMIC in there..
to me this oil cooler is no better than the Front Mount Cold Air Intakes they sell for civics..
both have function, but they are giving the impression of something they are not..
amazing everyone flamed the living **** out of the guy who wanted to put the front mount CAI on his Z.. but for RickDogg its ok.. its fine.. lets get on Doug.. lets shoot Doug down for his OPINION..
i am not sure if you guys know the definition of Opinion

The oil cooler is an oil cooler and uses the same principals and design as an intercooler.
That would be like you telling me that a radiator is rice since it looks like an FMIC.

What i don't get is this whole impression thing.
Rick has been solid NA ever since, what with u that he wants to go with a turbo look?
Do you know that some cars actually have radiators almost showing behind the grille that looks like intercoolers? Are they rice? they want to go for the turbo look?

In most cases the bars will hurt more than help a driver in an accident (on the street without a helmet) I have seen this first hand.
Roll cages are supose to serve a purpose, and that purpose is (IMO) not to get points at glamour shows.
Not hating here, just showing some concern.Rickdawg, looking good, but I can't recall the last time I saw or even heard of your car actually being tracked (raced). Its more like a show car now I guess instead of a "track car", to please your sponsors I supose?
Great pics and some pretty cars guys, nice work.
