I think it looks good. Your cutting of the front bumper doesnt look half bad.

Personally...

I'm not much for the bumper, or the stickers.

Good job on all the work getting the turbo and stuff in there though

Why the "greddy" emblem in front? I know you got a huge/awesome turbo from them, but still. Just my two cents.

here are some shots of the interior i modified the ac panel for the gauges ( actually just cut them out and made the holes bigge )and made the upper gauge pod..and stuffed a shift light in the old cigaret lighter i dont smoke so i guessed this was a better use of space ...let me kno what you guys think..

Well, I've been doing both exterior and power at the same time. Over the past years I've been trying to keep it consistent by doing all types of modifications. Here's a quick picture of what mine looked like about 2-3 months ago:



Since then, I've sold the wheels, the lights and a bunch of other things. Currently, it's in a body shop getting painted with wide fenders in both the front and rear. I also added, side skirts, a rear diffusor and some other miscellaneous(sp?) exterior parts. At the same time I'm having A-spec build me a single turbo and I'm just buying up a lot of parts. I also have a brand new set of 19" wheels coming in, but they're taking FOREVER (8-10 weeks to build)!

I honestly think after this summer my car will be 95% complete. The only things left for me to do will be purchase some aftermarket seats and a new steering wheel...lol.

I don't mind the cutting of the bumper to prevent partial blocking of the intercooler. I just think it would look a whole lot better with an R1 lip. In the first pic, the wheels look they are tucked under the body. You did'nt cut the springs, did you? For your years of saving and laboring, I think you did a very good job.
Oh yeah, I like the custom center gauge pod. I did one a while back for my Apexi rev speed meter.

actually ..... im getting a carbon fiber R1 lip .. soon like in the next few weeks.. trying to get it ready for rotor fest up in NOR-CAL .. ill get a pic of the front bumper in a bit ...

oh yeah the presure chamber is there just for looks .. with out it it looks real emty .. so i jsut left it on there along with the upper intercoller ducting on top of the radiator ...

ok farhan ... goddamm .. your **** is off the hook .... i wish i had your exterior my engine and in white pearl.. then i think i would be 100% done ... but damm your **** is like shhow quality ... damm my car gets tons of attention from girls ... i can only imagine how your does in the ***** meter ...

i dont know the ar on the greddy turbo i think its messured in a different way...

and a Efini enblem would look great ... i think im starting on all exterior mods .. so wait and see my progress... im thinking 99 spec front r1 CB lip pettit rear flares with monster 19 x11" rims and a carbon fiber rear defuser and those bad *** siple side skirts in CB.. dont know who makes them

untill now ive buil this car for GO FAST purposes only for 3 years in never even had a radio.. i loved the noise of the spool up and the bov venting .... i have a full roll cage , huge M/T slicks and a nice little race dump pipe that makes the car sound like a chainsaw on steroids.. the goal for the car was 10's but now that it seems like a very realistic posibility i think im going to aim a little higher..... maybe with a gt42 or sumething... but im never going to be done...
