Took some recent pics of my car and mini-me swap. Some before and after.
Well, took some more pics recently of my city lights, painted valve cover, mini-me swap and some before pics. Any comments welcome I guess.

After:-Had to somehow get my y7 cai to fit my y8 until I can get a new one.
And here's my city lights. Drilled hole into headlamps where city lights would go, bought oem city light sockets, and amber bulbs. This is the result:

Thanks. I removed valve cover, sanded it with 100 grit to get all the nasty crap off then went up to like 600 but didn't worry too much becuase I was going to paint it. Put High Temp base coat (3 coats), Gunmetal metallic (3 layers), and then high Temp Clear Coat (3 layers).

Nah, I doubt I could hang with your gsr yet...I can probably hang with it better than before my mini-me swap but you would still win. I have potential now though. When I get my turbo, then I'll be abe to beat you, but until then...you'd win hands down.

Glad to hear that you like the mini-me stuff 
Anywho, get a hold of me. I might have a short ratio transmission available for you.. + I still have that CAI piece if you need it
