Oh man, I say spring for a CF MS rear, if you don't already have one!

Really thought he look is very distinct, direct, and with a purpose; subtle yet clearly thought out.

Digging the lip spoiler man! It's looks so nice with the carbon fibre spoiler, but I just loved the euro spec version... Show other sides of the car! For all we know it could be just a cardboard box!!!?!

really the car is clean.. i just took the shot a couple of minutes before sundown..

and thanks for the excellent shipping on the sides. they fit perfect.. but learning how to get them on was interesting.

but really they went on very easy....

and the look i was going for was subtle. kinda a tone on tone..

beers

yep,

it is an evo r front lip.. and it is old... like at least 2 years. if you dont run into something it is fine..

wow, just a thought it might be older than two years.. must search group buys..

the sides complete the project.. thanks brice.. delivered at a bar.. perfect.

and btw, one exterior part missing. anyone want to guess? i just looked at my own photo and realized what is missing.. ;(

beers

Honestly I think a CF hood would be too much... looks good with just the CF "lip" theme

ah. funny you mention that. all the sub work has been done for that. rad, flywheel, clutch, gauges, exhaust, intake. all done. just waiting for the right solution!!!

the correct answer is the vents. i am over strakes. anyone want to buy them. they will be plug and play. that means i will sell them with the plastic mesh..

Sweet! Thanks swoope but I hope to not blow anymore in the near future.
New things are on the horizon for the BHR/ZEX N2o kit.

If you have a 6 port UIM lying around hang on to it.
