HAHA transformer! I do like the rims on her i think you need to lower her a little bit. She is sitting a little high. Im not feeling the wing but its your ride and you like it and thats all that counts.

yeah i think about lowering it quite often then i drive around here and go "maybe thats not such a great idea" all the spokane area roads are crap, potholes, grooves, etc. the wing is a temp experiment at the moment, im making one out of CF but have been having a little trouble getting to weave i want in usable sizes.

Looking good, although the wing is also not my favourite.

Sweet, Isaac! I've never actually seen a pic of your car in its entirety before. Only the ***-end of it.

I dig the transformer hood, very retro.

the "graphic" so to speak, was the result of 2 rolls of blue masking tape and about 3 hours of plotting and making pencil lines lol, it is painted with primer grey. i will finish it off soon with good paint now that i know it looks ok. we prob have the same front BP12a, is yours the VB one?

ya first thing i thought... transformers ! prety nice man, all i can say about that type of wing on an fb though is useless, not rippin ya but the way the air flows over the rear hatch on a 1st just doesnt work , you need a wrap around design i cant remember when to get them, they look oldschool, not ricey but if thats the look you were going for then dont listen to me .

very very clean though, any under the hood pics?

the rims are SSR rs-8, the rears are 8.5in and the fronts are 8in, they are full 3 piece with magnesium spider and SS rounds. the underhood is a large port 13b with rx4 manifold and modded nikki, exhaust is RB race header with 3in back from there.

im still working on cleaning up under the hood, i have to make room for the pair of t03bs that are going in there theres a beehive in the pic below, but i have since switched to FMOC


this was the most recent bit of work on it:

I too am against the wing. The decal as well, but its your car. Other than those two things the car looks great. I dig the rims, I dig the front bumper. It looks to be in good shape too. That is great.
