the pics were taken with my phone to they kinda suck. i relocated the battery and fuse box to under the dash, shortened the whole harness and took it thru where the heater core used to be instead of it going up behind the battery, tapped the map sensor into the IM instead of it being zip-tied to the fuel lines, put a DC5R final drive in the tranny along with a rebuild OBX LSD, moved the ground wires, painted the traction bar

i still have plans to wrap all the ground wires (there are only 2 on it now, im making more) in electrical tape so they are not as visable (like the red one), get some black header wrap for the header, make an airbox for the filter in the wheel well.

it has a CF hood and a primered front bumper on it right now, which are going to be painted to match white later this week. im trying to make the car look bone stock, as it sits lowered on webs.

so it would hopefully look cleaner. the whole harness is black, along with the shifter cables, so its a lot harder to see IMO. the only thing that stands out is the motor and fuel lines. plus its hard to keep a white bay clean. its not really a show car, more of a street sleeper. and i dont have the bottom mud guard, so it got pretty gross pretty fast.

I'm not feeling the black bay.

What is that power looking wire running over by the FPR?
Black fuel lines would go well in there too (Love mine!!)
