Looks good.

Tell me, where the hell did you find a serpentine belt system? I want one so bad, but I can't find one. That's not an FD system is it?

looks a lot better! should look even better with front lip and diffuser.

all your pictures make the car look really old though... like they are foggy a bit or something.

What is custom about it? I just ordered the same style vented headlight color. Am I missing something lol?

To the OP, can you post a pic of the rear diffuser you are putting on? I am very curious
