i rarely post, especially when it comes to showing off my car, but its actually painted now, so i figured i might as well.
before, the car had 02 ls sport bumpers that were yellow, and rattlecanned with some walmart grey primer, but thanks to stephen wiggins, it doesnt look like that anymore...
in the last year i have built my engine, turboed, and now painted... here are some pics of everything
these are the pics of the fresh paint.... painted at BAD DAD CUSTOM MOTORCYCLES shop
here are just a few of the bay, the last one is what it looks like now
motor has pretty much everything other than an eagle crank and sleeves...
just got everything for 3'' exhaust and a new tial Q bov
those along with msd ignition and msd inline fuel pump will be going on in the next few weeks
ben the car is looking great but your still a fag lol
stevens? i honestly dont even know the guys name who i get these from.... he lived in virginia i think
like i said on aim man... i love the car... its a beautiful set up as well....

I like everything but the fitment ofthe hood.
Great job so far.

Nice! The car looks great! What I don't get is why everyone who paints their cf hood paints the bottom edge of the hood (right abover the hood and between the headlights) Personally it would look better with the paint going straight down and the carbon hood flowing into the grill, just my .02 cents.... but either way it looks tits

it was cracked right above the drivers side headlight... i didnt have to do the strip in front.. but to me, it doesnt seem complete without it... pauls looks great cause he has the c/f piece on the bumper that ties it together... this is one of those things everything has their preference... i never wanted to paint the hood period, but had to after it got cracked

before i got the car it had been in a wreck..... so the hood wont ever fit perfectly

Looks awesome! Love the paint and turbo setup.
What made you redo the hot side charge piping? I would love to run mine under the car but Im auto, I just think it makes the engine bay look alot more cluttered.
love the car except the intake manifold......just seems odd but overall a great well balanced car
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
keep messin with the hood
that would bother the hell out of me
still sick though.

well, when the pipes were under the car, the were like 3 inches from the ground... kinda scary.. it was nice not having them in the bay, but how they are now there are less turns too, so its a lil better flowing..

i thought about painting the intake manifold black to tone down all the shiny-ness.... overall its a great manifold, flows great... and it totally changed the sound of the engine...
