wow bumblebee that looks great..... I like that C-West with the fogs in it, have only seen it with the empty squares before. I didn't notice and intercooler in those pics.... is it V-mounted and just hard to see or are you running without with that rear mount?

I'm also curious if anyone has a pic with some gunmetal rims on their LY rather than Matte black..... I have been contemplating what color of wheels I want for soooo long and cannot make up my mind. I think right now I'm stuck on bronze if a sweet gunmetal pic doesnt throw me off haha

my old rims were Gunmetal. ill send you some pictures. the intercooler is v mount and blacked out on most of it for the stealth look. the rims there are mirror black and very glossy. I prefer the black rims over the Gunmetal now I have all the carbon.

Thanks, that'd be great man, Actually if you have some more HI-res photos that have some good shots of your current wheels also that'd be sweet too. I'd have to say picking out wheels has got to be the hardest part of modding a car

Sick man I've always loved 360 forged but I think they are out of my price range..... plus I'm still stuck on a set of bronze TE37's or Forgestar F14's
Need to learn to do some photo shopping to see what each would look like.

dont do the f14s they are played out like the rpf1s now. forgestar has a 5 spoke thats nice i almost did those in carbon but i am a sucker for the split 5 spoke design. the 360s are close to what i have in my turbo stuff minus support things lol. to tell you the truth the volk gts that phenik(mispelled i think) had for sale i drooled over and would have bought if i didnt get such a good deal on the super rozzas that i have for driving around on. I still often dream about them.

How could you not win best of show? What the hell else was there? You need a nice stat sheet setup for shows man. Did the judges even have any clue how unique your car is with the rear mount, etc.?

a lot of people passed the rear mount up. the only ones who seen it was anyone who had a clue and seen the bov and actually peaked into the engine bay. I plan on getting a mirror for the ground just to catch attention.
the judging was one guy that i seen ,yes only one, and he really did not even look. a lot of people were pissed, i dont think mine was best of show due to the fact of a few cars there but the car that won, yes it was nice but not best of show. the judging was bad imo all around in many classes.
the winner was a old red impala. it was clean but he was beating his system all day. the best neon still had stock rims on and basically threw accessarys know for the neon and some lights. nothing tired together and tacky from what i seen.

thanks Chad. I do have to redo the roof. somhow i have a small section where the resin must have not soaked out all the way and it pulled 
ill finish the year off and redo it soon. Working on fiberglass panels for the trunk now.
also the 35% tint on the windshield is the best thing i have ever done. it make it look clean and is awesome to drive behind even at night

nope still on wastegate spring 7psi. it has been hot or raining when I'm free. hopefully I can get Kane up here to finish it off and dyno tune it. I have been very meticulous with everything and want to lock in the base pressure and as I go up. in the end I'm really in no rush its fun even at 7psi now.
