I like it alot! The intercooler is lookin weird though all the way down there, you should think about cutting out the front grill. Very clean car though, looks great!

^^^ thanks! once the itercooler is mounter properly it will look alot better.. the pipes will be in the little 2 holes in the bumper and the IC will sit im the middle level with the bumper not hanging below it.. and i was going to cut out the front grill, but i couldnt do it, the bumper dosent have a scratch on it.. plus i like the sleeper look

so they are a factory opion then. cool. where did u mount the intercooler bracet wise?

i used some flat 1/4 by 1" 1/4 steel. bent it in a long 'S' type shape. then i used a stud from the WP pully that hold the fan and put it in the same hole as the hood latch. worked out really well.

thers pics on my cardomain page. sorry dont know how to post damn pics.

haha yeah its all good, and im pretty sure it was a factory option in japan (where i baught the car from) because i see alot of them with bbs rs rims in the auctions ( i work for a place that imports jdm cars) but yeah, where the hood latch support bolts up thats where my intercooler is supposed to be mounted, but it hangs low for some reason.. have to cut the holes in the body for the piping longer to give it more play, then i figure it will be perfect and bolt up correctly
