Updated Pic's Since The Last Round Of Mods.
Wow I love the way your car looks in the "before" pic. Not to say its not amazing now, but something really sets it off in that last pic you posted. I think if you painted the CF or at least some of it, it would smoothen the car out a bit, but who am I to criticize? Sick car!

Nice work! Overall I really like the look of the car. Only thing I would do is tint the rear turn signals and get the headlights painted black. Right now they kinda stand out too much with the mostly darker, aggressive appearance of the car.

nice. Im thinking about running dual oil coolers as well. One for the motor and one for the SC. Noticed that i hit over 250 degrees just cruising on the hwy at 80mph......thats a bit high for my liking. I was thinking about upgrading my ic for aethestics but now that i see theres room to run to oil coolers instead ill probably go with that. Abui will be proud
Also, im going to run dual small oil catch tanks. Everyone seems to install one catch tank on the pasenger side which stops oil from flowing back through the upper intake plenum but doesnt prevent oil from leaving the crankcase and into the intake when under boost. You need to add another to the driver side between the valve cover and vortech filter.
