New shoot since the wreck! 56K Go Away!

Green_Bandit · May 30, 2009, 08:55 PM

Yeah, in March I got in a small wreck but I got her back better than ever!

RRM Kit running 7 PSI
Evo 8 IC pipes and IC
yada yada yada (let me know if you want to know the yada yada)
Carbon fiber

emblem on the back with carbon fiber license plate cover
I have a carbon fiber ViS hood on the way and looking to get an RMR type 1 lip very soon

I need some opinions on the back though...
I was gonna vinil the whole license frame black but couldnt finish it because of a pinched neck muscle but what do you guys think? In theory it goes with the front but I'm not quite sure looking at it now. Thoughts?

I like it bro!!
Sexy!
Pretty sure you have heard this many times but car would look sooo much better with a drop .

Looks much better. Do you have any new engine bay shots? I feel like my upper pipe hangs kinda low for some reason.

Green_Bandit · May 31, 2009, 12:12 AM

Linkin Park ftw, Points of Authority is playing as I type this. Nice car as well, but Drop it!

Titaztik · May 31, 2009, 10:47 AM

Very Nice Car man...clean and simple!

pwdrtoastman · May 31, 2009, 11:15 AM

that engine bay is a cluster **** of silicone and metal... bet it runs well

Jehuty · May 31, 2009, 12:52 PM

^ I kind of agree with this guy.

Might want to clean it up a little bro. Car looks good though, just some little things here and there.

Demon_ni2 · May 31, 2009, 08:36 PM

car is clean..

(hate to say it because everyone always does)
but car does need a drop. tein springs would do the job, or slam it with some decent coilovers.. and im not feeling the CF grill.. paint to match would look alot nicer.

there is alot going on in your engine bay also. might need a few days down time, but you could reroute alot of that piping and really clean it up a bit.. to many small coolant lines and vacume lines going everywhere.. and your ic piping and intake piping could be made alot simpler and still be hiddin out of the way.

keep up the mods and upgrades, its already 100x better then stock.

Har har...clever huh? Yeah it may kinda look suspect at first but it goes with the theme of carbon fiber and black and its growing on me by the day.

Yeah, looking back at it, it does look like a heap of silicone and metal. I don't quite have any ideas of what to do with it. Care to share?

Yeah, I've been meaning to do a drop for years now! I guess I'm kinda waiting on that "deal" to come along and every time I get money I get something else. Like now I have a IM and valve cover I'm going to get powder coated and ported and just ordered a CF hood. I just can't stick to getting a drop.

But yeah there are a lot of lines and such going everywhere. I'm open to ideas because I'm coming up with a blank right now on what to do with them. Suggestions?

It's kinda "resting" on a few lines near the back of the bay near the intake. It should fit in its OEM location bt for some reason it just wont go back and I dont feal like using the force to MAKE it go there since when I'm off of work I want to relax. It's been there for about a year now with no issues.

looks good..you should cut the mouth of your bumper wider to allow more air flow to your intercooler
