I wish my engine could be something like that. You may have money to do it, but not me.

Nice work, I can appreciate the hard work. I definitely like the new wheels much better. Persoanlly i would rethink the headlight sprayers (I know they are stock) and remove the tow hook and decal, they cheapen the overall look. If you show your car just put the decals on at shows.

I think the fender vents I have would flow very nice with your car.

UK

The TPMS is by orange which you can readily buy from the USA ,here in England its only an accessory but i run 245/35/18 bridgestone run flat tyres so if i got a puncture i would only find out about it when cornering, this made me a little uneasy,
so i got the ORANGE TPMS system with sat nav installed as well the two systems can be combined into one and it will also tell you the tyre temp, as well as pressure, give you and audible warning when there is over temp in the tyre, or pressure loss.
i have fitted it in my roof lining forward of the roof lights and sun glass holder will post some pic,s later



the head light spray system is a mod thay are from a mazda 6 the tow hook is just for show but this front end will be replaced in a weeks time all the lights/led,s, strakes, camera, hide away electronic number plate which is located in the lower middle aperture these are all my own mods but the new front end is much the same but has been finished to a higher standard
