paint looks great i like the color id put some different wheels on it maybe some white te's and clean the bay up a lil all that braided hose is clean an other wise clean engine bay any numbers

 

ive never seen anyone shave the front vents before. thats interesting. nice color

 

not too sure about the lips stapled on. everything else is nice.

narlsek,
not sure how you got your post deleted before I could comment, but I dont know why you could call the car JDMSH*T. It has nothing JDM on the car.

Nice paint and love how the FMIC looks behind the grill

 

The reason I had to shave the vents on the bumper was because on the intercooler piping. I heated up the bumper with a heat gun and pressed it onto the piping making a perfect fit. Then anything that was bubbled I filled in with fiberglass. It's the only way i could get a larger front mount to fit without hacking away at the bumper.

What do you mean by...retired? Are you going to sell the car, or just enjoy it as it sits when all done?

I got some at the track early this year on DVD somewhere. very lame though.

SC50 is a great turbo for the street.

Well, besides the fact that the bolts bug me on the lips, I like what's under the hood and the color choice
