Here are a few shots of the car, just finished getting it wrapped at Designer Wraps in Jersey. There's not motor or trans in the car right now, hence the 4x4 stance! New wheels and coils still need to be installed once the motor is finished up...

Probably going to plasti-dip the chrome bits as well. New Full Race intercooler is going up front as well to get rid of the old UR 4 1/2" one I currently have.

For those who haven't seen my build thread, the basics are a 2.2L fully built shortblock, Kelford 214c cams, Jack's built SST and a Full Race BW EFR 8374 .92 ar turbo kit...

Looks great!

I like the solid black detail. I'm kind of doing the same thing, but used a 5 spoke, flat black rim with a machine edge. I'm stealing your dipping of the mirrors and door handles!

Some thoughts to what you already have:
- I think I would have extended the large, lengthy, black decal right to the front end and wrapped it just a bit over the fog lights, yea black-out the rest of the chrome consider foglight delete kit?
- tinting tail light and third brake-light an option?
- retro-fit those headlight housings and kill the chrome in it.

Love the car!

Thanks man. The rims are actually getting pulled off - going with a set of Enkei Raijens, similar look, just more aggressive.

Fog light delete kit just arrived last week - 10 weeks to get it here. Fog lights will be gone shortly. I may tint the break light, not sure yet. Tails - I'm thinking of ordering up something new, maybe LED or something, not too sure yet. Headlight housings will be getting totally revamped through a vendor on the other forum - it's all still a work in progress!
