Love the paint job, nice build man.

Is it the gloss gray that comes on the Scion tC? That's the only place I think I've seen that before besides the Werks Composites Porsche 997 Turbo.

Nice! Man the price tags on those Haltechs make me kinda happy the 8 can use a piggyback like the Cobb to be tuned for FI setups lol.

EDIT: What kinda drivetrain are you running to put down all that power?

Okay
