Looks pretty decent so far, but why did you paint the horns? Also, any pics of the engine bay. I'm also wondering why you would have the SRT Race ECU without the SRT intake in which it was designed for; wouldn't it be better to have just gotten a S-AFC, HKS AFR, or even an E-Manage?
Any plans for the interior (I.C.E)?

the horns were painted for no great reason.
As far as the chip and the electronic controll- We are working on this. We have a S-AFC allready. Just trying to determine the best thing to do.
As far as ICE we will be doing something. Just looking to finish off the car first and then do the Sound, etc..
we have applied Dinomat everywhere and have enought cable run everywhere so that should be no problem.

Thanks for the feedback.

Looks agressive. I like the M3 look to the wheels.

The other carbon fiber item will be the UGO spoiler. Which we will mount today. After the Rear glass is installed. I will post a picture of that as well. It is a very nice, and mounts to the roof also hangs over the rear glass just a bit.

Thanks to everyone that has been responding. I promise to post pictures once this project has moved forward enought where you can see a huge difference.
For all those people that have voted: I could have done better.; Please respond with your version of what you could have done better. I am looking on feedback. And would like it to be honest. Keep in mind what you see in the pictures does not reflect 30+ things that still need to be done. So let me know. THANKS!
Oh, and just so you know.. Projects are never reely done. Before you know it, you find other stuff to do. Like a turbo application or something else.. I mean that's what its all about. Just doing something to a great car and making it better or nicer, safer, what ever..
