Got the car back from getting wrapped but it's cloudy today and couldn't get very good pics. Here's the best I could do.












This is 3M's new color "Gloss Wicked" very deep purple with some glittery bits. Absolutely love it, looks black until you get some good light on it and the purple comes out.

Hahaha! So have I. It's on the dream build list, but I just don't know what I'd drop it into.

Great looking wrap. You've done an incredible job with your project.

A few shots from Cars and Coffee this weekend and one of the Depo taillights. Really like the way they freshen up the look, the AP1 design looks extremely dated. Work Meisters should hopefully be here next month!

Now you just need some proper width wheels/ rubber on the rear of that thing.

Love the look of those ITB's. Any concern of sucking in dirt, birds or small children into the motor though?

I love the color, and your build. those trumpets under the hood look soooooo good.

I think the tail lights need to grow on me. Still love the factory ones too much.

That wrap looks phenomenal. I bet that motor screams.

Thanks bud! Can't wait for the new wheels to get here. I've got mesh filters between the air horns and the runners, but I'm looking into getting some air boxes. Kicking around the idea of running a half size rad and running 4" tubing from airboxes and merge them into a single 4" that sits where the other half of the radiator should be. Put a MAF on it and get a lot less headache with tuning when it's time for long tubes and heads.

I like the factory AP2 well enough, but for the same price I was able to get these and not have take a dremel to the metal. Made it an easy decision for me.

She makes a nice note, but gets overpowered by the exhaust pretty quickly

Car was featured on ScottieDTV this week. Did a little baby hole shot and talked about the car/mods a little bit.

Been a while since I updated so here goes: Took the car to the Dragon today. First time I've ever been so I took it easy. Car felt planted on these fortune auto coilovers especially for "just" having Pilot Super Sports all around. I've been on similar roads with RS3s on stock suspension but the car felt much more settled and planted than before. Mishimoto rad was installed between now and the last post due to a busted rad hose. Long tubes have also been installed. Will try to upload a video. Apparently I'm driving the wrap off the bumper...




In other news. Meisters will be here this week! Too bad I'll be out of town for the week and won't get to mount them until the beginning of August... I've got these AD08R waiting to go on them. 255/35/18 and 285/30/18



Finally, new heads are ordered from Tony Mamo for the LS. Between those and the long tubes I should be well over 450 hp to the wheels, hopefully more than 400 tq. Car will hit the dyno late August or early September.
