Default some updates on the car from mild to a little wild .

here's a picture from 2 months ago on my way down to Injected Performance for a retune .


after . this is either you like it or hate it . personally i like it a little different .




if you look closely you could see the Setrab oil cooler and nismo powersteering oil cooler behind the cutouts , i did it for functional and appearance .



bridgestone 305 30 19 RE-11s in the rear.


hope you guys enjoy , comments and criticisms are welcome lols .

edit: more pics just got the car washed here are some pics i took earlier .

Looks good. The cut outs have a purpose so that is always a plus instead of just some ricer stuff. Post numers after the tune.

Not feeling the cut outs. To me, it makes an other wise awesome car look cheap. At least you have the power to back the bumper up! Nice car besides that.

Should of left it alone. Not sure why the cut outs remind me of an EVO.

Cutouts just don't look finished like the intake cutout. Maybe a mesh screen behind it so that you don't collect all the junk from the road. Your inter-cooler is already showing signs of that.

Otherwise, car look great.

Sorry, not feeling it. Your front end now looks like a bad imitation of this:



I don't know why people are obsessed with front bumper cutouts, even for the intakes (the benefits of which are debatable, at best). I can understand if it's a dedicated weekend track car but for a DD, aren't you all afraid of hydrolock?
