The yellow in the back by the firewall, are those coverings for your ABS lines?

I saw a red FD in miami with those cheesy blue wiper lights.

But hey, I also saw a Z06 with a disgusting rice wing.

I think you need to be on the other side of the $500,000 spectrum to stay away from rice accessories

The car is gorgeous!!! Where did you get the gauge pods in the passenger air bag spot? Is that a custom thing? Looks very nice, very proffesional.

The RED and Yellow are all coverings. I think the ABS is in RED.

Not blue, purple. They just look blue in the pics. The lights stay off for street driving down here in Florida. Cops will ticket you for any color other than white or amber. Don't worry, I've never been the neo under the car type. Thanks for the kind comment.

The fogs are no more than 4" wide. The pics might just make them look bigger than they really are. I would think that the average size for fogs is abou 4". Thanks for the nice comment.

Looks beautifull and clean gotta love it, keep it like that, but loose the extra tach. I don't think you need it, to ricer looking, that's just my opinion.

BTW good job on the costum made gauge set pass. side.

Thanks for the kind comments. I need the extra tach for the race track. It has features that the stock tach does not have. For example, it can record and play back 30 seconds of needle movement. After I make my 1/4 mile runs, I can then playback and look at what my needle was doing (RPMs). This can help alot on your next run by making adjustments in shifting at a different RPM, etc.

What's up??? Been well, hope thing are well with you also. Never made it out to the meetings in Orlando. I ended up meeting up with the FAF race team in Tampa. Good bunch of guys. Are 7 owners actually meeting in Orlando on Sat night? There does not seem to be anyting on the SE forum to show that this is the case. Orlando seems pretty quiet for 7 owners.
