that valve cover is pure sex. I've got mixed feelings about the strut bar, but the idea is definitely original.

Nice turn out on the VC. Like ^^ said, I am not too sure about the strut bar, but +1 for something different.

I have about an inch and a half clearance in the front with my lip. I just pray a lot and do the ol' turn the wheel and let one wheel at a time go over the speed bumps and stuff like that lol.

I'm leaning towards boost right now, still all options are in the air. Thinking about doing ls swap for now and going lsv after since lsv is amazing.

I finished painting my interior stuff. Everything light tan is now black, basicaly everything on the top half of the interior. Turned out pretty sweet. I'm really starting to hit the end of my appearence mods I want to do, not a ton left to go, then it is motor. Got an alignment done yesterday too. Started painting my ctr grill to match my car, and painted the mounts for like slave cylinder and rad black.

Here are my plans I have left for looks:
~Exterior
-Mugen spats (mhmmm)
-MAYBE Spoon lip (I'd have to put my car up more in the front...)
-Spoon mirrors
-Get new bumpers painted
-Si spoiler
-99-00 Tails
-Drag dr-29s/Rota c10s or Gt3s or Slips or Ls mesh. Whatever I come across.
-Benen tow hooks
-Wire tuck
-Pull stupid AC and PS
-Blox lugs and MAYBE extended studs, not sure yet.
~Interior
-Ctr shift boot/ebrake boot
-MAYBE ctr center counsel delete
-Racing seats because they are just sexy
-Mugen steering wheel/NRG hub
-Mugen pedals
-Si cluster

I can't really think of much else I want to do, the rest is all motor or suspension. All I have left for suspension is rear disc conversion and GSR sway bar in the rear. Then it is making this car fast, not going to be all show and no go forever!

Alright, here are some pics of the interior:


And because I can:

And this should fix my exhaust leak:

not diggin the strut bar, and they valve cover is too plain you should add some special design to it. Also not sure if im liking the whole gold and green theme but good work so far, should turn out nice!
