We will make sure that the next one has the missile avoidance warning, er, collision detection alert.

Maybe some flares/counter-measures for tailgaters as well.

Thanks man! The funny part is the exterior is pretty much stock except with Airlift and F14's.

It is pretty amazing to me what a couple of simple exterior mods can do to these cars.

I knew the airlift would take the car to a whole different level. Nice!

 

[Kobie]

Flares? Like these?

Paint those ugly gray rotors black please!!!!!

Nice. I might. What did you use? Just regular black brake caliper paint in a can?

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Yep, you wouldn't think it would make a difference but it does. It's subtle but you see after its done how much better it looks.

Rust on the rotors from sitting...TOTALED!

I wonder if he takes the wheels off the car and rolls them around a few times a week to prevent flat spotting...

Lol!


Took advantage of Lethal's 20% off Diode Dynamics today and purchased their new switchbacks, glove and trunk LEDs.

Also got a set of RTR side splitters from AM.


And some quick iPhone pictures from yesterday night with a buddy of mine.

 

[Grabber5.sl0w]

Got the Steeda G-Trac installed tonight! Thought it was going to be easier than the rear sub frame braces but man was I wrong lol. Took a bit of fighting to get the front driver side hole to align.

Going to try and tackle the Steeda rear toe links tomorrow.

 

[bujeezus]

We have similar tastes. I have the steeda irs subframe braces and vertical links ordered. Lol. I'm also color matching them tony car. Haha. Did they get rid of the brutal wheel hop??

 

[S197 GT]

Nice! I don't regret Powder Coating them at all. Looks really good under the car. You can even see them through the wheels too. I've had a couple people comment about them already. Deff feels like a whole new rear with them. Haven't taken to a track yet so no idea on if it's 100% gone, but on the street it's gone for sure.

Thanks man! Completely changed the feel of the car IMO.

 

[Grabber5.sl0w]

Finally got around to installing the Rear toe links today. Wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. Definitely the easiest out of the stop-the-hop kit IMO.

Also have a Steeda CAI and Lund nGauge on the way!
