Here's a teaser of my buddies car in the process (Duder06). he rarely comes on here and he said it was ok to post. Yes....its supercharged. He's got MANY surprises but I thought I'd show you all. It's been in the shop for a year!!! I think it's a love hate relationship with this kit. Sorry for the phone pics, this is what he shared with me. The car should be ready in April.

Props for the SC tho! What kind of kit is he using?

Woulda been funny if I did that front too back when i was asking you about it, we'd be two boosted aimgain cars, crazy. Lol was wondering when this would surface tho Mariano! I went a different, less shocking and less expensive route if you were curious haha

I think the front will look good, but gotta say I'm having a really hard time imagining how the rear is going to look when finished. Curious as to how he is going to get the exhaust tips to look right in those ports. Are the mesh covered sections going to be for the exhaust? If so, what are the round ports at the center for? I've only seen a few rear diffusers that I've liked, but will also hold off until it is done. Projects can look bad when they are in progress and completely different when done. Props for the SC!

I can see past the white bumper and current condition. This car should look sick.
