Keith was the stunt driver in the new James Bond movie Skyfall. If you ask-He'll deny it.

Great result!

I think the ram air hood looks quite good on the car, given its new aggressive look.

Who wants to do this next??
We need another color like Black, white, red, or silver to see how it will look??
My car is such an unusual color its difficult to gage the success.

Body shop can do the complete conversion in about a month once they acquire all the parts. Cheap option vs. the cost of the black series. If you are like me and had the car long enough to where its paid off this conversion was MUCH cheaper than a new one. Plus I didn't have to do all the mods all over again.

Someone, step up, come on.

You should wrap your car in a new color to get a feel for something new.

It'll be cheaper for you since you now have a coupe and no fabrication invloved. But not $5k cheap.

Exhaust
Keith, what exhaust did you have on it? I know it was from Modern Horsepower but does anyone know what you had to do to the 6.2L to get to sound like his?? Amazing sound and so sad to hear what happened.

I ran the MHP long tube headers without cats, without resonator, or muffs.
It was pretty much a 3" dual exhaust with the MHP "X" pipe. It was LOUD so be careful!
