...Mr. "Eurotuner" 
In all fairness, I was going to sit down and fix it, but realized I don't have a temporary grille to use, just in case it takes longer than I think it would. So, two screws and zip-ties have to do for now. I'll probably do it when the body kit is getting done.

Exhaust looks great Drex!
You keep raising ther bar make it harder for everyone else to keep up. Gosh I really want a pulley now! I'd be down for a small GTG.

Just wait until about, I'd say, beginning to mid-April. That's when I'm gunning to have the body kit and brakes done. From that point on, it'll be smaller things (maybe).
Did you watch/listen to the video clips?

Thanks. It's exactly the sound I was looking for. More prominent supercharger. Deeper, growling exhaust that doesn't sound like it's an I4! Love it!
I was on the verge of getting a sprint booster, but now that I've driven my car for a few days, I don't think it'd be a good idea. It'd be over-bearing to drive it like it's WOT 24/7 (cuz it already feels like that right now w/o one) .

Waiting for traffic school...
I had some time to kill before I had to go to traffic school, so I ended up finding another good area to go to for "Sunday" Photoshoots. These are taken from the top of the parking garage for the Santa Monica Place (which is closing soon) at 11:30am.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

Drex,
Nice thread! It cools to see the mod changes of the drexappeal ride. Sweet!
I just checked out the video. Is that the sound of your grille rattling since you have ZIP TIES?!?!!? (sorry, I just wanted to be Blake for a second). j/k
That boy won't let you hear the end of it.

It's a different car. The videos don't even do it justice. Granted, it's not gonna be killing any C32's, but it's definitely a sleeper (exactly how I wanted it).
