It's a tight fit but the F1X is on. All I have to do is plug the hole in the oil pan where the drain plug use to be. Then waiting for the chassis shop.

Custom piping, tubular bumper support, 6" thick bell core intercooler. Maybe some other things.

I'm still waiting for the chassis shop to free up but I finally got the plate I wanted. After being denied I had to come up with clever idea.

BMV: "Sir, does this have anything to do with racing?"

Me: "No ma'am, I'm a insurance agent. I sell gap insurance!"

Me: "ok good. Please put that in the description and sign here please".

Still waiting on the chassis shop. Only thing I've managed to get done is install the license plate. Oh, I also found my 02 sensor connector was completely melted. I also got Prochargers new big boy BOV.

After 10 long weeks she's finally going to the chassis shop. Feels good to finally get the ball rolling.

I stumbled onto this thread looking for the manufacturer of those hood vents and had a pool of drool on my mousepad 2 hours later.

BTW.. never saw where those hood vents came from...That's about all I can afford

They're one off hood vents. They're supposed to to make them but I haven't heard anything else.

Thanks...Looked for something like those a while back but gave up. Did some more searching after reading this thread and found these. Just need to photoshop them in first to make sure it doesn't look too ghetto.
