Going to paint the airdam sometime this week when I get the paint made up. It's just put up there in the pics, I'm not driving around with it on when it looks like that. I may glue my grills to the air dam as well so make it look better since it was cut before to fit different grills. I wish it wasn't cut so I didn't have to use grills, I think the FMIC showing looks so nice.







And here are some money shots!

Yes. A lot. I haven't got it tuned yet but it is still a huge difference compared to my black one.

I only really get half throttle at most and with low boost it really sits you back.

My sister was in the passenger seat yesterday and said it felt like being on a rollercoaster hah.

That FMIC does look SO sick down there. Really pops out IMO

What kind of exhaust set up is on this one?

This ic is huge.

And exhaust it's 3 inch all the way back to the Y. 2.5" Y to 2.25" muffs I believe. No resonator, no cat right now but I am putting one on. Also has a 3" electric cutout at the bottom of the downpipe.

So what are the plans? I mean, are you going to build the black GP up big time?

Time to black those tails out?

The black GP is getting an l36 I think. Just going to use it to take me and my gf back and forth from work and school.

The red one I am just going to powdercoat some more parts, throw on my powdercoated stuff, add my HV3 I've got, wire tuck and tune it. That's all for under the hood.

I'll eventually finish my coilovers to slam the front and get some ZZP trailing arms (I am not taking my GMPP ones off the black car, the stock ones were a HUGE PITA to get off). I've already put my GMPP rear sway and Progress front on it and it has AGX's all the way around so it's good to go.

I should have my interior finished in the next few weeks.

Then get it painted black with some sort of flake (maybe red or copper?).

Then that's the end of the modding days for the car.

RS I love this car. The paint really pops out, previous person must have taken great care of it? I think you got a great vehicle and can't want to see more pics!

Overall it is great but the hood is really bad and under the spoiler on the trunk is bad. The clear is peeling off the front fender which you can see in the first pic and there are a few dents here and there. Other than that it is good. I am going to get a random orbital buffer to get rid of the spiderweb scratches.

What orbital buffer are you going with? I am looking for one as well, I too have spiderwebs.

i had to widen my holes quite a bit but yes they do fit in the stock holes. You will also need to buff the crap out of your trunk as my slp spoiler sits further back towards the back of the car than the stock spoiler.

Go with the PC7424 for a buffer.

Car looks sick man. I love the way that IC looks.
