Thank you I will hopefully have more pictures as soon as this snow clears out, and with all the JDP stuff mounted as well. I have to say I really love that 3rd picture, where you can just see the tires smoking

[Charmy82]

Hehe, my tires were screaming at me that day. It was so damn hot I slept in the car with the aircon on between my laps.

And stop teasing Art, poor guy. Besides, the LEDs look far better when it's a bit darker

car looks awesome varg! do you have to pay taxes on the performance increases?

[ArtJDM]

All lights are played out and overrated. I hate lights of any sort, but especially on cars. The less lights, the better.

Looking good though. Was actually wondering about your hood. Is it a 1x1 or 2x2? And are the vents functional on it?

Thanks. Anything above 10% increase is taxed exponentially. The increase would have to be proven though.

LOL! The hood is from Revozport. It is a Mugen RR "replica". 2x2 weave on top with UV coat and frp under. Uses OEM lock and the vents are only for show. I plan on modding them so they do work though
