Well im actually 2nd guessing it, im not trying to copy you or anything scott by any means. But i would like some opinions on this one, i read your posts on cv's thread about obnoxious colors and its true it would get your car more attention. So my idea was to find some mud guards and paint em a bright yellow color, and was thinking of doing the same thing to my rims but im thinking about waiting til i can get a different set of rims to do that. Opinions?

Haha idc if you wanna be like me! Just kidding... Or am I? I say color match the flaps to the rims. They are expensive cause they are rare though. I just want the flaps to have em super close to dragging haha.

Well i pulled my a/c and cruise control, HUGE difference. There is much more rooms and the overall appearance just looks so much cleaner, Im gonna start a minor tuck here soon i think too. Also picked up my intercooler and piping today, apparently the guy who was selling the stuff couldnt make it so he had his buddy meet me. Well this guys buddy was an old old friend of mine from back in the elementary days, Small world lol.

Nice intercooler setup, what'd you pay? What'd you do with the ps rack? Leave it wide open? And you need to wire tuck asap, now that everything is wide open it'll make a world of difference. Pull that splash guard off the bottom, looks so awesome when you can just see the ground haha, really shows how open it really is. Ik the splash guards there for a reason but oh well lol, mine got ripped off anyway.

Oh and I'm assuming you'll upgrade motor mounts before boost? If you get the stiffer mounts you technically don't even need to runt he torque mounts, I Still would though. And good luck when you pull the mounts, on one side both nuts thatare welded inside the lile fram rail thing broke loose so I had to cut a hole in mine.

How's it feel? I've driven mine w/o the belt and it's not bad. Did you do ss lines too or just rubber hoses. Idk if I want to just loop or go through the troubles of making it a breatheable rack, cause if you make it a breatheable it won't build it pressure making it easier.

It'd make my tuck so much more noticeable haha. Well if I go through with the h swap I want to do there's no way I'd keep ps, or even try to figure out how. Did you do braided or rubber hoses to loop it? I don't really feel like spending $30 in anodized fittings and braided line.
