Some people have been begging me to add some pics for their viewing pleasure. though i do not have the DGM lip installed yet, and some other goodies from DGM (soon to be on the way), i figured id post a few pics before i get a chance to put them on cardomain.

1) the engine bay is absolutely filthy, the sunlight direction makes the strut bar look orange (its not, its red), and i ruined the paint job on my valve cover with engine degreaser. however, i just recieved my paintscratch paint today, and i plan on re-doing the valve cover this weekend, so try not to judge to hard in that respect.
2) also the front mounts look like s*** because i cant figure out how to paint them without having them crack upon tightening, and kinda the same situation with the radiator cap. if anyone has suggestions let me know, like some sort of adhesive base or something.
3) i removed the side moldings this past weekend, let me know what you think (too late if you dont like them, but i figured id see what you thought)
4) the light is a bit bright inside the cab, so beware. if you want more pics of the cab ill have to get them tommorrow.
5) until i get a free moment (i dont have many) to fix my driver's strut bearing i dont want to install my new falken azenis' so bear with the somewhat ratty looking kumho tires.

so as you can see my car basically looks like s*** (hand) but im posting the pics anyhow because many people have been asking about them and i didnt have a new digicam until just today.

also for you hks lovers, notice my hks doesnt angle down then up just before the outlet any longer, due to the 2.5inch turbo back piping and the relatively bad experienced exhaust people - but it works out because i dont scrape anymore.
 
thanks. the new digicam was cheap but just as good as my old nikon, same specs. now i need to get a bigger smart card. (that is the smaller thinner card right?)
 
your car looks pretty amazing. (2thumbs) i'm not the biggest fan of cf hoods, but along with the eyelids, it looks great.

i think you mean sd cards. the postage stamp sized ones, right?
 
thanks everyone...yea the card area is much smaller than the card i had in my nikon.
 
nice. -=P.. that piece was shipped to me so as soon as it gets here ill pm u for your shipping addy -=P
 
Looking good.
I think that your car might look better with JDM taillights.
Also, how big are your rims? They look kinda small.
 
i would like some jdm tails but they are a bit expensive at the moment considering my attention is mainly on my turbo, upcoming roll call, painting of my lip, etc etc.

as for the rims, they are 17x7 with 215/40s. they look small because they, like most rims of that style, have spokes that curve into the polished lip. the curve in combination of the lip make them look smaller. really, i agree. however, they are ok for now, i plan on replacing them with some 17 inch volks in gunmetal at some point, so no sense in getting ANOTHER set int he mean time.

heh..maybe thats why i cant get any SVTs, GTs, or Spec Vs to race? lol.
hah, even when people see my big ass FMIC, they still think its slow, untill i pwn em. Ive even had a couple ricers say they dont want to waste their time on me, etc..untill i pull bus lengths on them.
