New pics of project FD

Well guys I have my project about wrapped up on my (hybrid) FD project. I painted the hood and front bumper today and buffed her out and waxed and lemme say the car has never looked so good. Other things done are, changing out the drivetrain , new exhaust , new aftermarket guages , wheels , etc etc etc. Some pics for those interested.

Yup shes an auto , with the HP shes putting out Im not too concerned with the weight of the rims . Plus its not a drag car just a street cruiser , I just fell in love with the way the ADR msports look on a FD.

how did you hook up the dash? im doing the same exact thing right now but im interested on how you mounted them and got them to work. ive been in love with the c/f autometer gauges since they came out and planned on doing what you did just been working at it very slowly.

haha n/m your on a different drivetrain than me...lol

Looks good! Post up some outdoor pics once the paint has cured and it's ready to be moved. Rims look nice on there Not super crazy about the gauges, but it is uniform and consistent looking in there. What about the powerplant? What's in there?
