Black strut bar looks good Brian. Don't do green, please. Keep that for the under carriage stuff.

Yeah, you could use that IC as your front crash bar, lol. Reminds me of a cow-catcher on those old locomotives.

i think it looks great in black also but i have done all my suspension stuff in the same green so im curious as to what it looks like in green hence why i wanna pick up a spare and do that one in green also NOT TO MENTION im fixing to sell my CF engine cover. i want another Black/Silver one like i had for awhile (from the SC430)

Did that extra heat shield on top of the SRT make any difference?
thanks, DEF cuts down some of the noise. not sure if it does alot of good keeping the air cooler but who knows

thanks tony, no these were professionally powdercoated a wrinkle black (the RMM oil cap, the RMM strut bar, and the SRT intake was all done like that)....now i have to get a SRT sticker made since SRT wouldnt ever respond to my requests to ship me a sticker (shocker)

Here is mine. Have not done anything to crazy to it yet. Just trying to get all the little things done 1st before I go single and swap the auto out for a 5 speed. I dont really dig the blue couplers but its what came with the FMIC kit. Im going to change those out for red ones, and get the coil pack cover pained to match the car in cinnabar pearl.

It's turbo, it's installed, and it runs. That's worth showing pics.. Keep up the progress since it sounds like your keeping the car for good now.

Yep, she's staying with me now! So I should head over to the classified section and have the mods close it. She's been a lot of fun the last few weeks! I went through a bunch of gas.... And in the words of Forrest Gump..... "That's all I have to say about that". lol
