The Installing the sport seats today . Here's a mock up pic of my carbon fiber diffuser . At some angles I love it and others it's ok . I finally acquired my fav hood the APC heat extractor in CF which I should get painted and installed by spring .

ACP extractor is my favorite!

I'm too poor though so I'll probably buy the knock off one

My interior came a long way . Finally got my double din and bezel all hooked up . Between that and my other accents the car is looking dapper .

Amazing. I was looking for this exact car but had to settle for a silver one. Black is so much better...and the mods are coming out perfect. Looks like a super car.

It’s been awhile but the mods won’t stop anytime soon . So I was tired of cracking the front lip I had and was lucky enough to find a rare Greenwood (pre Spekter Werks) front lip that I always wanted . IMO it compliments the lines and looks like it belongs .
