With factory equipment, that shroud wouldn't work I don't think. Hood latch, coolant catch, etc

that shroud is custom for the vmount... i haven't really thought about a "factory" panel but may be interested in making something if there's enough interest.. we do alot of one off stuff though..

A few pics of the stance...



Hotline rear fenders, tough as nails. These survived my roll over and an encounter with the permanent barrels at Balcony...



Progress on the front end. Fenders are causing alot of fitment issues. Will be switching to Hotline fronts as soon as they are out of the mold...



Engine compartment is almost done. Mounting LS coils and engine wire harness left...



Another pic of the v mount since it is so damn sweet!!!



Should be working on it more today.

those rear fenders are the ones. i like them now seeing them bowed out like that. when they were on the gold car i think they were drooped or something at the rear.

I think the fenders would be cool if they fit.

also - they sell Vacuum line sized pinch hose clamps at autozone. you should grab a few to be safe and throw them on the LIM where you bridged the lines. once everything is together and one of them blows off it would suck to put back on/impossible with the UIM on.

idk if my motor just sucks and blows off everything but if you experienced it too last time it was running give it a shot.

Should get surge tank, both fuel pumps, filters and lines finished in 2 to 3 days.
Hopefully engine and suspension tuning before the end of the month.
Goal for completion is Halloween Bash at Willow Springs with JustDrift!
ONE YEAR anniversary of me "flipping" my car and starting this whole project!
