Yup, a "friendly" smog place will be needed.

Swap to black carpets, black dash, illuminated door sills and full carbon fiber pieces
Weistec methanol kit going in as well. Really enjoying this car.

Final touches being completed including the cleaning of my valve body as well as installation of a new conductor plate for smoother tranny shifts. Also researching Weistec Blow Off Valves.
Interior has been fully converted to black dash/carpets, white LEDs, illuminated door sills and real carbon fiber trim.
Weistec Methanol Injecion Kit has also been installed for a projected 80 additional HP.

Power is now insane....
Weistec Methanol Injection kit has taken the power to a new level that I did not believe was achievable. Turning off ESC is not an option now. Octane level is now 100+.
Regarding the interior, Tommy at Quantum Mechanics in Huntington Beach really out did himself as the photos don't do his work justice. I'll try and take some videos over the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Illuminated door sills with new red, diamond-stiched floor mats and black carpets
Meth Tank in the trunk.....LED light installed on the right that lights up when the tank is low.
Meth Boost Controller installed in the center console
Carbon Fiber door pieces
Carbon Fiber center console

Weistec downpipes are on.....
Also recently did Weistec Blow Off Valves and I'm reflashing the ECU with a custom Weistec tune.

I'll be commenting on the Renntech tune in the near future based upon their response.
Tommy at Quantum Mechanics in HB has done a phenomenal job on this entire build.

Weistec custom tune is complete
After having the Renntech tune removed from the ECU and re-flashed back to stock by Renntech, I had Weistec flash the ECU with a custom M279 tune. To say that I am happy with the results is a massive understatement. With the current set-up listed below, it is estimated that I am running nearly 20lbs of boost. Furthermore, the tranny shifts are right on point.
I drove the car VERY hard today and it did not throw any Check Engine codes like I was previously getting with Renntech. Previous codes included P2178 code: system too rich off idle bank 1 and also some O2 sensor codes (P0159 and P0139) slow response. Most importantly, the Weistec Crew (Danny & Anthony) were amazing as it relates to their customer service and knowledge. Anthony was even able to tune the ECU to eliminate deceleration fuel enrichment which causes that annoying backfiring / popping noise out of my exhaust cutouts. I am extremely fortunate to have these guys in my backyard and I'm so impressed that I'm already considering internal upgrades on the stock turbos as a preventative measure which Weistec offers prior to going to the next level which is larger turbos.
I will comment on my Renntech experience at a later date based upon my ongoing discussions with them.
Lastly, Tommy at Quantum Mechanics in Huntington Beach, CA did an amazing job of helping to coordinate this recent mod and he was my lead technician on the entire build. 5 star service to say the least. His attention to detail is second to none. He is also now an Authorized Weistec Dealer / Installer and installed my Weistec Methanol Injection Kit, BOVs & Downpipes.

Very nice set up you have. It looks like it all came together very well. Everything fits as it should. Did you ever get the car dyno'ed after all the mods? I'm curious to see how they all add up. Also, what size wheels and tires do you have up front? The wide track looks really nice and aggressive, but can be challenging to align if not set to the proper ride height. Any top speed runs in Mexico? California is a little closer than New York, I have to play by the rules.
