Thanks! and i decided to go with the stock bumper for now, I'm still undecided on doing the JDM rear or get the Rexspeed diffuser for the evo 8 Rear

Yea thats pretty much what it is. At night it looks black/ deep graphite, but during the day depending on where the sun is hitting it looks Charcoal, Brown, Maroon. I'm very happy with the paint choice!!!!!

Thanks bro, I appreciate it! And no I never installed it I think I'm going to stay with the stock rear for now because I'm undecided on using that rear or getting a diffuser for the stock one.

Merry Christmas to all of you! So you know you have the perfect girl when she buys you car parts without knowing what the hell they are lol. My Girl bought me STM aluminum radiator brackets, Coolant tank and Power Steering Reservoir along with a Case to hold my watches and a watch in it. My brother bought me OEM window visors which i been meaning and wanting to buy for awhile!








Also, i plan on repainting my Brembos either, Gloss black, Matte black, or Silver im not really feeling the gold anymore but im still on the edge with that..

LOL, it is def. a sleeper. Basically the main engine parts are a 2.4L block built with Wiseco Pistons, Manley turbo tuff rods, L19 ARP headstuds, ARP Mainstuds, ACL bearings, with a EVO 8 head built with Bosch 272 cams, supertech valves, springs, etc.. Precision 62/62 ballbearing Turbo, Top Mount turbo manifold, Cast Magnus intake, AEM-EMS, full 3in Aluminum exhaust. Made 465HP on a mustang dyno on 13psi and pump gas. He has all the parts to make it AWD we just havent had the time to put it together. He can make way more HP on more PSI but he dont want to do it until he makes it AWD and sends his tranny off to Shep. That basically sums up his build. I think he is going to make a build thread on here soon!
