did you paint under the hood and the door jams?
that looks sweet. i think you should switch to a fmic, it would look really good under that 99 front end.

hatch and jams, yes, but not engine. I took the same approach "donny" here did. My next step is a reman and a single turbo, the twins have me at my last wits!!! I'm shooting for Demetrios's new kit, the R85, where I will most likely then switch to a FMIC.

Great job. Love the rims and the color.



Only thing I have a problem with is the front end. Does anybody else think the 99 front without a plate look kinda ??? Looks like its smiling, not aggressive at all.

Sweet! Same as mine, except I'm repainting mine silver. Are you missing your belly pan though? Make sure you get it back on, so that your cooling system gets the forced air it needs.

I have a new belly pan sitting in my room, but I'm leaking oil and such so I haven't put it on yet. I'm still seeing 88-90deg Celsius water temps though.

Thanks for the comments guys. And there's not a shot in hell I'd have a front license plate on my car

Thank you Rich! And thanks to Gotham Racing for helping me get some parts. Rich has been a great help and was very understanding when I needed the sideskirts ASAP and Gotham's supplier couldn't source them.

I wish I could lower mine that much. The streets of Cincinnati would kill me if I were that low. Nice ride.

Is that a real 99 front modded or a fiberglass one?

Looks great, I'm trying to decide if I should go 99+ front or stock 93 on my CYM. I like the 99 front but can't stand the L. plate mount.

Your car looks GREAT!

Thank you turbojeff, that means alot coming from a knowledgeable, FD Doctor like yourself. I think my front end would look beautiful on a CYM.

The front end is the Pettit 99spec, which comes with no plate holder. My body guy said it was excellent build quality and no more difficult to put on than any new OEM front.


I met allrotor93 the other day, good guy and soon to be the Pioneer of the R85

The car is gorgeous! I actually like the look of the 99 spec with the plate holder better, but it works well without the plate holder on your car.

But then again, I have rotor-shaped tail lights too. So what the hell do I know?

I understand the concept of "tasteful modification". Tasteless and tacky can also be unique and stand out in a crowd, but that's not necessarily a good thing...

The original color of the car was Montego Blue so the engine bay doesn't look too bad, not to mention the engine has that white chalky **** on it from aging so I didn't think the cost-benefit of doing it at this time was worthy. I didn't/don't want to pay 2 times to get that stuff done.

I will attempt to make the BBQ, I haven't really payed attention to when it is/where it is, but I will look i tup and see what I can do. Weekends are "girlfriend" time seeing that is the only time we can see each other so it will depend on how hard the whip is cracked
