Default In the process of BFI

Me and my brother started working on a BFI for my girlfriends SC300 today... were doing version 3 with the plate underneath the headlight, and the ram air effect coming from the front grill... except we decided to make our own scoop out of sheet aluminum. All the plates are sheet aluminum too... we'll finish it up tomorrow and i'll post some pics.

lol, butt dyno is ok... feels a little better on the top end... first gear still lags a bit... but i guess i'll just have to get used to that until we drop a 2jz-gte in it...

That's a great looking bfi install. You'll sail through CA smog visual because of the oem look you've imparted. I did when I had that set up.
