Really nice work man.

Tell us more about that steering wheel dude. How did you do it, what materials did you use?

The steering wheel is by far one of the most challenging things i've done. First get some 2x2 3k 5.7ouch carbon fiber fabric. Then you need resin and hardner, I recommend testing this process on something small. Keep trying it until you get it down, the hardest part is waiting. You have to wait for the mixture to tact and apply the fabric, the you apply more mixture to seal everything. It's a pretty lengthy process.

Wow, sounds intensive. But it also sounds like something I could tackle if I tried. Thanks for the tips.

Post of some pics of the finished product when ready so we can see how it looks with the airbag!

Let me know if you're selling the leftovers from your front clip, and willing to ship it overseas. If the price is right, I might buy some parts from you. Thanks, and good luck with your project.

I sold the remainder of the clip back to the vendor.

I have a lot more pics, just got the car back any good boost gauges and controllers that might work well with this motor. Also a good gauge pod for the interior. Alexis is almost done "Just wait on it"

I use VDO Gauges. They are simple design, super cheap, accurate and very high quality. A lot of German cars use this with confidence.

I found a couple of gauges in in florida i may go with for now until I finish my interior.

Here she is: This motor is really strong and aggressive I can definitely have a little fun during my local commute. I have a feeling that this is my daily, I'm going to mod it than say I need a daily. Should be fun.

Here is a morning shot redid the lights, cleared them up really nice fresh paint on the housing, and i did a new DRL I'll post pics later. The cut off and alignment is spot on used spacers so very satisfied with the results.
