nah, those are seibon parts. the seibon parts aren't really to my liking as the fit is off in certain areas, and portions that have thick gel coat is already fading. i may actually end up acquiring the vertex dry carbon parts in the future.


ah okay, man that's just how CF is i think my C-wings parts fit okay, but they definetly aren't OEM fitment, and the clear coat flaking is why i ended up painting mine, i had the clear refinished once and it didn't last long.. I didn't even know Seibon made a oem CF spoiler, i thought only Cwings did the spoiler in cf..

car does look good though man, i'm jealous of your vertex fenders and Endless brakes!

Paint your hood and trunk/spoiler to match and chrome the headlights back out.

That exposed carbon fiber just cheapens the whole look of you car and makes it look like something from need for speed.


Otherwise the underlying form and function of your car is second to none! Love the two piece rotors and the stance it has with the michelin tires.

What wheel locks are those??? Those look mighty nice.

The CF will probably painted in the future if I A: decide to keep it and it fades or B: it gets replaced with the Vertex Dry Carbon counterparts.

The car is being geared towards track now, so the looks may be a little boy racerish.

Tony, definitely hit me up when you come up. I'll pm you my number.

Engine is the stock V8 for now. Only thing are bolt ons, the EKT tuning headers with 2.5" mandrel bent piping to the JIC catback. Eventually after I am maxed out at the track on the stock engine, I'm going to have it built for a Whipple SC.

Oh, in the pics, that is the lowest I have it set at. This is not a true airbag setup but rather a coilover/air cylinder setup. So it can go as low as the coilover, and still have the flexibility of an air setup.

This way, I get the full performance of a coilover setup while still being able to make it up driveways, hills, etc.



Here you can see the air cylinder on top of the spring.

Not a freaking scratch, nor dent anywhere. I don like the hood too much, but the car is looking really clean. I am so jealous of all the SC drivers in Cali. Where do you all get all this money and especially, TIME?
