Yeah, it's crazy, you see the pics in mags and all that, but it's not until you actually stand in front of it that you notice how awesome it really is

Hmmm..... Love most things about your car. Great choice on most of your parts. Props for rare parts like the hood, lip, sides and rear. What were you thinking when it came to the exhaust though? One, the old set-up looked cheap, the set-up looks better but that weld is atrocious!! I think you'd be better served with an HKS, Greddy, Fujitsubo or Amuse R1 Titanium if you're baller . Other than that, nice set-up.

The thing about the exhaust is that I do work night shifts and sometimes I come home at like 4am.
Now I'd love to have an exhaust that is pleasing to the eye, yet also easy on the ears when not going over 3000rpm.
I'm sure that with the big variety you guys have in the US, someone may be able to tell me which exhaust would fit that criteria, then I may hunt it down.

Thanks for the input guys (and girls)

And back on the car...


There shall be (Fog)light...

Well done sir, very nice flow to everything

Doesn't look like your neighbors are going camping anytime soon...unless that's some kind of anti-theft boot?

Visited my friend today to look at the carbon vinyl that Hexis make to see how it compares to the 3M DI-NOC Vinyl.
The rolls that my friend had to hand were rather large, so I did some thinking and kinda thought

"Let's have a go at doing the roof for a bit of fun"

Here's the pics my friend took while we were doing the job














Between the two of us it took us about an hour and a half and it was windy too.
Oh, and I deleted the rear wiper too

Great looking Zed Sir

Well done

I think you missing a spoiler, and I would recommend Evo-R full/half CF spoiler (blitz spoiler)

Nice suggestion about the spoiler, but would prolly go for something like the Amuse in CF (yes, it would have to be a replica in CF as Amuse don't make them in CF)



But anyway, I have sent my Volks into rehab as of last Friday, here's how they are looking when I dropped them off, hopefully they will be back soon looking fresh

Decided to order some Aerocatch Bonnet Pins and break out the Dremel.
Does anybody realise how daunting it is to put a Dremel to your CF bonnet?

Started yesterday...


Finished today...
