bumper needs to be changed to give it that "complete look." either swap over to a s5 front (looks like it would be a PITA) or further customize the current s4 bumper and custom finish of the lip some how. other than that looks nice from that shot- aggressive and functional looking. very nice

That thing looks like it chews up and spits out small children.... I LOVE IT! You've gotta get some dyno numbers and a curb weight posted! If my '90TII track project ends up half as nice as that, I'll be more than satisfied

The intercooler sits too far back in the bumper....... looks kinda goofy. Other than that it's badass.

It sits back in so it has shorter IC piping and It normally has ducting for the radiator too. I thought about putting trim pieces back on but decided it was just extra weight. still have to put the tail light center section in too.

That's almost too wide for my tastes, but still ultra BA.

Wow. Looks great.

Nice race car. Big rubbers on it.

I like what you did with the dash, too. Strictly a performance car.

What kind of #'s you hoping for? Seems like you should be in the 450 whp range, if not better, no?

I got to give you a hand of applause. That car is a monster and need some good paint. Do you have a video of the monster being idle?

where did you get those replica fenders- how bad was the molding, did they fit evenly, or was it a chore to make it work?
I say put trim back on and paint it all together like the s5's come. I have a thing for little peices not being finished. Why sacrifice 3~4 lbs for "incomplete" look. and s5 bumper/ with that lip, just looks clean like it is though. Any color ideas- rich phantom black?

I have always been a fan of the Sheet metal folded Drag car dashes, with the simple drilled out slots for gauges- running all the way across, but yours is def. unique and practical- more/less

Fenders are around 3" wider i believe.

Raceon sold me the fenders, they may still sell them but they're like 6 week wait because they dont make them, someone else does. They fit really well in the rear and I used this special 3m adhesive that was $50/tube especially made for fiberglass to metal glueing. the fronts took some time to make fit well but they werent bad at all.

Yea i was originally looking at a dark charcoal metallic or a black metallic. Not sure yet though.
