Isam's Turbo Swapped FC (pics)

Hey guys, I went out and took some photos last night. It's been a long time so go easy on me . Hope you enjoy. Just so every one knows this is not my car. This is my friends, his name is Isam on here.











Ignore the terrible glare, this was the end of the night and I was over it. Sign and sky are neat though:


And one of my car for fun:

D80's really aren't too expensive these days. But we can deal, your car for my camera. Or I'll just take some pics and you let me drive it.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I appreciate it.

I'm driving Isam's red FC 2400 miles this week so there will be plenty more coming.

the s4 bumper tapers in at the bottom, the venting and the bottom of the bumper hit the IC and kept it from connecting. Theres pics of how far my IC sticks out at the bottom in some other threads around the 2nd gen section

i was trying to get one for a while but gave up. Also the NA hood really grew on me, it keeps it kind of sneaky if you ignore how crazy loud it is

You use what you have, and from 2400 miles, away like i currently am, sometimes you resort
to telling the people who are at home, "Cut it till it fits, i'll buy a new bumper that fits when the car is here."
Before that it didnt have a bumper





Also i've been looking for an aluminum one but i dont have anywhere to store large parts atm since i'm in a barracks
