Nice progress! I have the actual vented hood, and I kinda wish I had gotten the vent so I could move it a little further forward. It hits my Infini strut bar and doesn't completely cover the alt belt.

I also like how you used the Rotary Works AST w/ your v-mount too, although slightly different from the way it was designed

I'm thinking of picking up another hood and moving the vent all the way forward to the intercooler, i will have to shave part of it so it wont hit the strut bar and will finally clear the alt.

changed my mind since i saw a sweet deal on rims.
picked up some RP01 17x9+22f front and +38 rear with 215/40/17 & 245/40/17

haven't decided what color to powder coat them probably white or gold. And when I finally upgrade my suspension will get some bigger tires 245/45/17 front and 255/45/17 rear.

ended up with Cusco Street coilovers, they are actually pretty good, will use them for a couple of auto-x sessions and maybe drift.

went to a couple of them, they said they wouldnt responsible all i ask was to be careful but since they were ******** i ended up taking them home.

ended up paying $260 because of the color. if i had gone with flat black or white it was going to be $150, i need to take some pics in the morning but the wheels are brass 30% gloss.

no tune today, spent 2 hours in the muffler shop having them install my 3" setup. when we were unloading the truck from the trailer noone was at the steering wheel and the car moved alittle and fell half way the ramp, it bended my oil cooler a little no leaks thou,

car is drop at nelson going back tomorrow hopefully it gets tune this time
