Beautiful. Love them rims. The whole car is perfect. Not to many exterior mods to make it look cheesey just the right amount to give it that beefier stock look. Perfect!

So you're saying a wide body is out the question...lol Just joking, that would be too much for this look.

Thanks, glad you like how it all came together.

Just got my car out the shop on Friday, it's going back in this weekend. Got a pretty big crack in the glass so have not taken it out for a hard test drive. Will give the car a few weeks to adjust before doing a dyno. What I can say is barely touching the accelerator throws you back in your seat. Will have to get use to that.

Very interested to see the dyno chart to see where the gains have been made. My MSD system on my track car made a difference in the bottom end (dyno read) and on the very top end, car also idled smoother than I thought possible.

So, so far everything is a-okay, no hiccups whatsoever?

Driving around, that's exactly where I feel it e.g. Bottom/Top End. Seems to lag or just is normal in the Mid Range because of this the 0-60 feels a bit slower like something is missing. But just barely pressing the accelerator will throw you back in your seat.

Honestly, more than likely you will not find someone selling this bumper because so much time, money, and energy is put into making one and because of that not allot of people have done it.

If your not worried about spending a few thousand dollars then your best shot is to find a shop that will make one for you. Even if you happen to find someone selling one I'm sure it would cost you a few $K.

Member VIPCLK320 could probably give you more information or possibly point you in the right direction.

Haha, I will no longer be producing any bumpers. Im making my final one which is going to be on my own car so who ever was able to get one will be happy to know that they will stay exclusive.

+1, I'm interested as well.

Thank you for quantifying your past mods before and after HP increases. I must have missed seeing your results w/ regard to the Okada Projects coils. Please tell us if you received any sizable horsepower increase for the Plasma Directs.

Thanks in advance, Lynn

That old thing Thanks man. Got it from USspeedo.com

Stainless Steel laser cut only two made in the world. I was lucky to get this because it was the prototype of another forum member.

USSpeedo will not make anymore unless they get a minimum of 10 people. They said it was too difficult to make..
