Yeah I guess that'll suffice. My g/f made me watch a bit of it with her. Couldn't figure out if it's real like or fake.
Some of the girls are pretty fit though.
Oh and yeah wheels look rad! When are the caps going on?

Looking incredible mate.
See with the Typhoon system, is there a way that you can botch the engine cover to go underneath the air feed pipe and fill in the recess where the old box went? I guess there's probably not otherwise people would've done it in the past. I'm running a BMC at the moment and was considering a K&N, however, I always feel that the BMC fits into the bay in a more OEM fashion as opposed to the K&N. I guess you benefit with improved power and sound from the K&N though...

Yeah in the kit it gives an example of how to cut your cover it's just a small semi circle you cut out to make It mote oem looking but I hate covers so I left it off... The typhoon is a quality kit go for it, bmc suck lOl...

Did my strut brace today as it was looking horrible and there was chips and flaking powder coat all over so I paint stripped it and wrinkle finished it and let the sun do the work as it was pretty hot it gave it a thick wrinkle finish...
Here's some pics.
Made abit of a mess lol. Was horrible to strip but worth it.
Looks shinny in the pics but will matt off over night, what we think.. ???
