Ditch the rad, fan and shroud for a Black magic unit and you'll be stylin.

other than that nice job so far

And yeah what's with all the haters just looking for mistakes in the listings.

Next I would paint the engine and accesories. I just did our 90 FC. I you would like to see pics send me your e-mail on a PM and i'll send some to you. They are to big to post here and i don't have the capability to resize where i am at.

The rims look nice. It kinda bothers me that the hood doesn't match the car. And tell people your girlfriend bought those pink pedals for ya!

i am keeping the hood black, even if people think i am trying to be make it look like carbon fiber.

THE PEDALS ARE RED, DAMMIT!!!!!!!

my strut bar doesn't rub on the hood, but they had to dremel the underside of the bar so it would fit over the alternator.

everyone was calling me a ricer on another thread because i said i was getting motegi wheels. i put them on my old car, and i liked the quality for what i used them for, so i went with them again for my fc. cool, huh? and before anyone asks, the wheels are supposed to be that b=color balck, i didn't paint them that way. i do have a problem with the front center caps on the wheels. they won't go on because of the dust caps for the wheels bearings. any ideas on geting around this?

Wow. That car looks great I'm not much of a red fan, but the way the red and black go together there are just awesome.... I'm not much of one for the black hoods that aren't carbon fiber either, but it still goes great Can tell it isn't carbon fiber, and it looks really nice heh heh... Seems you did a lot at trying to keep the car red and black only Came out very nice... I like it

Oh yeah, It's a K&N Filtercharger Kit alright...and severely overpriced at that.

good thing it came on the car when i bought it! i saw the price for that thing on mariah's website-----way too much!!!!

i was trying to keep it only red and black, and as you can see, it turned out really well.

does anyone have experience with victoria british carpet kits? i might switch to black carpet in the future....

I think the car looks pretty good. don't like the black hood, do like the red/pink petals.

Personally I like shiny wheels. Dark colored wheels just don't do it for me. I have the same gray carpet - and the same problems with keeping it clean. i'd replace the pedal pads with new rubbers or some plain aluminum pads. Don't really like the color, be it red, pink or striped.

K&N filters are high quality in my experience. Mine needs to be cleaned now, actually - a week by the Ocean and sticking through the hood does that I guess.

Overall the cars looks nice. I like the turbo hoods, they just won't clear my air filter (or carburetor or intake, for that matter).
