Before front brackets and supercharger.



After with the new conversion support brackets and supercharger installed.
After replacing the 2007 bracket for the 2013+ bracket, did all of the misc parts that need to be attached bolt back up to the same places?

Yes, after replacing the 2007 front support brackets, all other brackets lined up perfectly.

A current picture of the supercharger and a few upgrade to make it look more presentable.

Testing the LS600 headlights for fitment and function since we had to run a plug and play cable. Everything function correctly along with the turn signals.



A overview of the front end with the intercooler in along with the Black Pearl F-Sport lip kit that was molded.

Not much of an update but here is some minor engine bling... I don't like how the coolant bottle didn't flow with the rest of the HKS upgrade, so I had a friend make a cover and cap out of stainless steel to flow with everything else.

Them minor details adds up and holds its own weight and really matters just as much as the big major mods! Looking good!

Nat, did you update just the front end? I just noticed that the rear deck lid looks unchanged (I could be wrong, the primer hides the contour a bit)
