It's BlackDiamond's GS (the CL member formerly known as Mumbles). Not TT, he just is a polish MADMAN There were two FI cars you may see engine pics from. Freelance (Toyomoto IS3) and Flex (custom turbo SC3), both drove up from FLorida.

Take a look in the link to my gallery (which is really a draft site, we're still building it up) on page 5 for more closeups. He's done an AMAZING job on it --> http://www.somniplex.com/gallery/dra...03_cars?page=5

Hey no problem, I didn't even know what some of those things he polished up nice and shiny were .

I was told the polished things on the front of each side that you probably thought were turbos are the VVT-I controlling mechanisms. Who'da thunk it?

Dave,
Thanks for the nod!

Bluelex,
Yep, those are just the VVT-i controllers, you got 'em too... polish 'em up!

L-Tuned... IMO the best looking grill out there!

I do like the RMM one with logo in the middle, but I'd buy an L-Tuned grill if I could find one for the great fit.

I have to agree with Paul 100%!!! Indeed the most creative and stylish engline mod I have seen.

Now, Eric, please post up a DIY on how you did this. I want to do this mod already!!!!! You briefly mentioned how you did it, but to people like me who are so not DIY oriented, detailed instructions are required!!!
