Several reasons..

1. This will look BAD AZZ!!!!!!!
2. DB issues... half the noise out each side.
3. This will look BAD AZZ!!
4. DB issues... block off the side towards the DB meter.
5. This will look BAD AZZ!!!!
6. Imagine a picture from the rear of the car on decel with flames shooting out both doors!!! BAD AZZ!!!!
7. Pictures from both sides will look the same and hopefully have glowing rotors and flames shooting out the door.. BAD AZZ!!!!

LOL... Can you tell I am kind of excited about this??????????

Question...doesn't that restrict airflow through the intercooler/radiator? Or you guys trying to air cool the engine by giving space for air to get into the engine bay?

Can't wait to see what more you guys have up your sleeves.

That is the entire opening for the FMIC and the radiator. There will be small openings for brake ducts, the oil cooler and possibly the air filter in that same front opening. The rest will all be blocked off.

The entire dash was taken out. No place for a stock dash from any GSR...

I have to agree thought that will be pretty cool to see flames on either side and glowing hot discs. I like the db issue solution (I've had to do the same thing on some customer cars but, a few places move the db meter several times during the event, which just makes it a little trickier.

Alligator/ostrich dash - whoah ala West Coast Customs
