You can expect plenty of criticism when you go against the grain. But then again, its all part of being 'original'

It took me a second, but is that tape all over your car? Guessing to keep from getting scratches? Got any better pics of the intercooler? And you seem to be on an anodizing kick, have you done anything else?
