As promised, another 2 year update man those 2 years went by fast. Please excuse the quality of the photos... most of these will be photos were taken on my A7, downloaded to my iphone, touched up in the lightroom app, then uploaded to Flickr....so not sure how good these will come out

The only new mods I got in the last 2 years were a Mugen Dry Carbon hardtop, Mugen roll bar, ASM overflow tank. I have more updates coming that were meant to be done by Homecoming, but who knows if that event is even still happening! Anyway, the following shots will be from various photoshoots i did in the past 2 years and you'll see the new mods in the pics.

EDIT: i was also contacted for an interview by Gus who runs a growing youtube channel based out of SoCal called Automotive Anatomy. Video is posted at the end.


First photoshoot after the rollbar and hardtop install:








Then i went out for a photoshoot at Angeles Crest with Michael (@Spacebypixel on IG)








Got some shots at this newly built Irvine office building before getting kicked out for parking in the middle of the road. No one is even occupying the place yet and this road splits the middle of the campus with this nice wall decoration that changes colors. The security didn't find my parking spot amusing though.








Random spot in OC, early morning.




Latest photoshoot in Irvine:

My car is an 04 and came with them. I'm not a big fan of the AP2 headlights besides the smaller and more reliable OEM HID ballast. If my AP1 ballasts start to fail, i may go back to AP2, but only for that reason.

Just here to show love... can't wait to put my mugen parts on my car too. Huge inspiration to get rid of my FRP top for a CFRP one from this car as my car is berlina black too..

Thanks, yes i don't think anything matches Mugen's CF hardtop. Amuse's top is more expensive, but i personally don't think it's as nice. The Mugen hood and hardtop are my favorite parts of the car and it's all because of the high quality workmanship. It helps that CF looks great on BB. Your car is coming along nicely, excited to see more!
