@Sig, yeah I have that too. it's great, because you can sit there and stare at someone, and you can see them look around, make sure nobody is lookin', then doing whatever they feel they need to hide. Always good for some laughs.

Very nice wheels! it's kind of an old-school-meets-new-school style.

I'm curious about how you modified the hood scoop, though. It looks as if you installed a piece to change the duct for the TMIC into a vent. Is that correct? If so, was the vented piece something that you purchased, or that you made? Does it help to reduce engine temperatures, or are there any other benefits? Let me know about it; I'm really curious/interested!

Its a RE Amemiya hood scoop cap that I picked up some time back from a group buy on Teamfc3s.org. I don't know for sure if it helps with any under hood temps because I don't have before and after logs with it, but I'm thinking it should help some alteast. I went to it because I went to the front mount and I felt there wasn't a need to keep the stock setup.

The sides and rear are from Shine.


I pulled the wheels from a 89 Lincoln Mark VII. The link on my first post has more info.

Looks AWESOME, man- those black wheels look sick on the silver. Very tasteful. The visible rivets on the rears adds just the right touch of hardcore

R-Magic'ly Delicious! How hard was it to get the Shine/R-Magic rear bumper on?
I have mine sitting/collecting dust. I'm overly intimidated by the rivets I guess.

my car should look almost EXACTLY like yours when I'm done, save a R-Magic
front bumper. Sideskirts, rear bumper, and JDM Rainguards sitting on my floor
right now.
