Thanks Bullit & altspace

The location is my father's garage, it's quite convenient

I love your blog altspace, I wanted exactly the same bodykit as yours before I finally decided to buy the KnightSports (less common in France)

you and your friend have some pretty nice parts.

what exhaust does your friend with the blue 8 have? and what carbon intake duct do you have? does it work with the stock airbox?

Thanks guys, it's a real pleasure to read your comments !

@type59 : my friend with the blue 8 has the Supersprint exhaust. And my ram air duct is the same than the Racing Beat, but in carbon fiber (see pic !), so yes it works with the stock air box

Thanks !!

@ type59 : yes it sounds good and not too loud with a catless midpipe, unlike my Tanabe which has an awesome sound with the stock cat but too loud without That's why I removed it and came back to the stock exhaust with larger tips. I am now waiting for my Tanabe to be sold and then I will buy the Racing Beat

@ Fate710 : yes I know it would be nice to lower it more, but I can't ! Here in France there are too many speed bumps, small roads, high pavements, holes on the road and other roads in bad shape ! So if I don't want to break my expensive Knight Sports fiberglass body kit, I have to keep a reasonable height !
