Thanks man. I appreciate it.
Before the plan was just to refinish mine in silver since I got bored of the black. Now I want more concave. Badly. And to go lower.

Gheybe · 12-11-2011, 03:12 PM

My only worry is not clearing the strut on the inside, and then the wheels being too far out.

It's gonna be close.. AST's give you a lot of room to work with, but I'm not sure about other brands

Things done since last exterior shot:

-OEM M-tech 2 bumper installed
-OEM M3 Mirrors installed
-Vorst Hood Filled and Painted
-Titanium Headlight trim changed to black
-Matte black grills
-Body Trim Painted Black

(Sorry for crappy pics... no post processing at all. I have yet to install Photoshop on my new comp.

)

YES YES YES

Very good choice on doing the hood like that. I'm speechless

NM someone guess it already. JoJo or Pat...

et35 on a 9.5 in the front should clear just about every strut from my knowledge (with the exception of racelands, which i know for a fact you are wanting to run)

ps brian, looks legit! when i sell my bbs, i'm thinking about buying some of those 9.5s!

p/s black out htat chrome trim!

Thank you Sir!

For some reason I think we have similar tastes. I really love your car as well.

Thanks! Overall I like my Magnaflow more it is a little quieter than my old TSE3. I do miss however the burbling sound that that TSE3 made under very light load. That and the TSE3 tips didn't get as dirty since they were chromed I think the Magnaflow is polished stainless. I got it covered now I put a coating on the tips now that prevents the black build up.

Yeah they are pretty awesome. I thought I remember you saying you didn't like ARC's because of the hub area though? I knew I had to get my stuff posted before everyone started to run the ARC's. I was surprised not many are running the 9.5's yet.

Don't worry Raj... that is happening this week.

BigDRick323 · 12-11-2011, 10:30 PM

Smoke your turns, pleassssssssssssssssssssseeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SL Blak Soldier · 12-12-2011, 05:15 PM

yeah, what can i say, they are growing on me. i'm really into the csl/bbs rc clean look. and that works with the lightweightness. lol.

Hornung418 · 12-12-2011, 07:10 PM

Awesome thread, Brian! I just don't know how I feel about the hood...I can clearly see the imperfections where you blocked off the inside portion of the vents...looks slightly half-assed

And I think we have a meat flush winnar
