Did you ever install those rear reflector lights I saw you post? I've had a set for a while and haven't done it yet.

No I havent I was going to get under the car and see if i can take off the rear exhaust section to take off the OEM reflectors to do it, because i really dont like removing the bumpers anymore after the body work was done. More chances to have it not line up properly when it goes back together or breaking a tab

I still have my oil catch can sitting in the garage too. lol

You know me, i never stop. The seat console, or whatever it should be called is going to house my PLX boost/wideband modules, meth module, and a digital gauge to show my air tank pressure. The modules are currently mounted underneath my driver seat, and well, i paid enough to have them all, i might as well show them off. Plus, i really like making carbon fiber projects, especially easy, flat pieces like this one.

More build progress (none of the carbon is near complete... Lots more resin and sanding/polishing ahead of me)

Thanks, it's been a huge pain in the *** with that big a surface of carbon fiber... Too much sanding! Lol

Got my rear console maybe 90% done. Still needs some polishing and to mount the boost/wideband/meth modules onto it

It's all looking really nice. One question though, wouldn't you want those gauges more up front and visible for engine monitoring?

^I was wondering the same thing! Aesthetically, wouldn't it look good as well to have gauges near the dash?

I'm only mounting the ECUs to the boost/wideband/meth in the back seat console, the gauge is still mounted to my a pillar. I am however mounting the digital air gauge next to the ECUs because I can care less about my air pressure I just bought it to add something else to the car lol

Thanks man, your car has come a long way too. Props on all the custom work!

Finally finished my carbon projects, or for now. Felt good to get the car out of the garage again!!
