Mark14, nice man! You won't see it around town for another week, it's still in the transmission shop getting a rebuild. Sorry for the crappy pic, better to come when I finally get my car back!



It's had a few things done, all of which I don't know the brands lol. have not had a chance to research since I have not seen my car in almost a month (shep trans turn around time blows.)

-carbon fiber lip
-lowered pretty low but a smooth ride still so I'm guessing springs
-looked like an mr bov since it's not plastic but not aftermarket
-3 mitsubishi gauges in the lower din my guess it's not factory but super inconvenient to look at lol
-nice momo shift knob
-3" turbo back exhaust n1 style muffler, no clue what the brand is, but it sounds nice.

That's all I know so far.

thanks man, december? how come? man, I would die.

it is in a worthless spot, I can't check boost at all! they also don't glow at night, is that something I need to fix or are they just not back lit? also, has anyone ever relocated them? like the boost to the steering column?
