Car looks great.

Where did you happen to pick up the carbon fiber engine pieces from?

VERY nice. Love the carbon fiber under hood panels. What's up with your front grill though? Looks like you have one but the transparency that shows the horns and other items kinda detracts from the look of the car. Keep up the good work though!

Thanks everyone. The engine bay didn't cost to much found a good deal on ebay honestly. Had to do some trimming of the parts where the mounting locations are but we'll worth it.

Yea I'm going to get a new grille soon and some blue Hella horns in the future

Thanks everyone for the compliments. wish i had more money to put into the car ha!!

The stereo isn't to crazy right now. I am currently running JBL components in the door. I need to get a better amp for my doors. And 2 pioneer shallow 12s the 400watt RMS ones. Come next year I am going to do a full custom amp rack and stereo rebuild. Probably end up going with something more serious but you would be very surprised the quality those pioneers put out. They hit incredibly low notes. For the price of the subs they pound really hard
