You really have to see his car in person.. I personally am not a fan of the strips on the front.. but in person it looks REALLY nice. Like I said before.. Pics do not do that car justice.

here guys is the data log from Diirks car - it was a really great running evo - real please to drive - took quite a few corrections to dial it in 100% but I love my work so its a real pleasure
Well, it looks amazing in pics, too, so I'm sure it's freakin awesome in person. I just don't know the purpose of that gigantic tint strip. Or rather, I think I know the purpose as far as shading goes, but it's like a sore thumb as far as appearance.

Here is the log from Jionavni's car also with the boost hose and ecu controlled flash - I put in 6 1/2 hours this weekend to dial in the boost and tune like this - nice running car

Sounds good guys.
Warrtalon- I honestly don't like the front stripe either. But I don't like the whole windshield tinted either. You have to have some type of protection in the front. The sun is just brutal here. I work at the airport and used a temp gun and the ground temp averages 136 degrees in the summer where I park. And on the drive home I head West and can't see a damn thing . So, I just settle for the stripe. I bought my nsx with the front completely tinted and thats what most people do around here, but it is really annoying to me to drive a car with the vision blurred slightly.
Makes sense. I understand having sun shade on the top, but I'm used to seeing half that much space covered. It's unfortunate that the conditions down there force you to do that, because the rest of the car looks amazing until seeing the windshield.
