Smile New Pictures of my FC, what do you think!

Just snapped a few pics of my car. It was a nice sunny day, until I went to take the pics anyway, which then it got cloudy. Anyway, I just got done installing my S5 taillights, and these are also the 1st pics since the new Tociko struts/springs. The car handles and rides beautifully now, even better than before. Anyways, just looking for some input, what do you guys think?


And the pacesetter cat-back is being replaced with a Greddy PE, hopefully by next week






Sorry for the blurryness on this one, not sure what happened.. Notice my S5 N/A gauge cluster, and custom (sled-driver) pedal set.

Engine bay , notice the painted plenum, UIM, and LIM. Matching the strut bar, calipers, and wiper arms

Well I figure it still routes some cooler outside air toward the intake, so I left it there. PLus I think it looks better than just the fan shroud

And Kim: Yea I dont care for the exhaust either, but it was cheap at the time the stock cat-back was rusting through, so thats why I have it. Its going to be gone soon though

Thanks guys!

haha, I guess you have a point about routing air. I dunno about looking better. Depends on how clean you want it. Cool though. Nice car. I'm definitely jealous. Mine's screwed up right now.

What color is that? It looks too light to be black, almost looks like a darkish gray or a gunmetal.

Looks right side up to me...

Great pics, an actually very clean FC. Its the cool little touches like the S5 tails and BBS wheels. Who thinks the S4 tails look better again??

Now all you got to do is rip some of that stuff out from under the hood, ie PS and sub-zero assist.

Thanks., yea all thay is coming out, along with A/C. My cold start assist is actually disabled and the UIM blocked off, but I havent gotten around to removing the bottles yet. And as for the S4 lights, I actually dont think they look bad, they just need to be body colored, like the 10AE. But I came across a good deal on these S5 tails, so I decided to swap em..

I like the old style lights better, makes the car look like the decade it was build(I love 80s´sportscars)
Also shows the retards in their brandnew GTI´s or worse that they got beat by an old car

like it a lot. Overcast is actually some of the best lighting for outside car pictures. Promotes neutral colors instead of a yellowish wash or unusual tints.

Did you just paint the OEM sport wing, or is that aftermarket?

I like the painted stock wing.
Next time try taking some pictures while kneeling down to get a lower point of view. It makes the car look meaner.
Keep up the good work.
