Thanks man I didn't go with all new Conveluted Tubing (split loom) like most guys do, I'm goin for the less is more approach being that it's a daily driver. I used a braided hose cover looks killer in person. got a few more hoses to do but I think that's where I'll stop.

The Tein Hood Dampers are cool. Hood basically opens it's self. I just think they have a good visual effect.

PEACE!!

Hmmm a loan sure why not, at 50% APR, LoL. Shoot man im having to be super do boy at home for wifey, just to try and finance my own SC. And china man connections is funny, sounds like a crazy name on here, thanks for the auction details. But back on subject, somthing i didnt mention in my first post. Have you thought about maybe trying to find carbon fiber to put on the strut bar or maybe even possibly painting the bar the same color as your hoses. Just to try and tye it all together. But keep up the good work.

Wow, that bay looks great. How does the thickness of the CF E-cover and fitment do for you? I'm contemplating on just buying one but I need a feedback. Kudos+2 ^.^

minibangbus .............. Fit is great, good quality piece.

ProshopXB.......... I don't know about the whole matching paint scheme thing I want more of a "performance" look rather than a "show" look. Thanks for the suggestions though. Also, for $3K how's the extra performance on the SC how much add'l HP do you get? In my estimation it's not worth the dough. and $3K for underhood "bling" a bit pricey.

Peace!!
