intercooler?

what is that like a 744 TI? :lol:

Looks good man, super clean.

:) yeah i think it was a 240 in the back lot with the parts cars. we looked around for something interesting. of course when the car REALLY gets the intercooler project done it'll mean something. for now it's just for fun :) thanks for good feedback :)

intercooler badge needs to go :lol:

aside from that I like the direction it's going in, good stuff

could your spoiler possibly go back like an inch to sit flush w/ the rear of the car? looks a little funky as-is.

tried to get the spoiler back as far as it goes. the screws just get really ugly any farther back. there's too much superstructure in the trunk corner to get a clean attachment. but yeah i agree a little farther back would have been just right.

whaddup with the grille?

maybe keep the sash off, do a nice flat black job on it perhaps?

thats the new grill. i have a couple of cans of plastidip black for cost the old one. and i'll have to dremel down the mountings for the sash. i like the black sashless look like you. i've also got some wire mesh grill material on the way that might work too. plenty of choices until it gets drilled or glued :) then it's done!

Drove past you on Hartford Ave next to the Pop 'n' Kork Yesterday. Your car is looking good, not sure ifyou saw me or not. Well, actually you wouldn't have noticed because I was riding my Italjet Scooter :)

Moving to Franklin this weekend.

time to get your car tinted man, there's a good place on 140 in Bellingham.

Looks really good, but I can't for the life of me understand how dealerships out there (East) put those God-awful dealership stickers on cars they sell. Out here you get a nice plate frame and that's it, easy to ditch if you don't like it. Wheels look great too. Is that a samurai sword on the rear deck? If it is, I'd suggest you strap it down, I know someone who's brother was killed because something flew off the rear deck and hit his head (skateboard I think).

hahah brilliant man! i had a funny feeling someone was around spooky! :) I just got it back last night, and i had come back and spent a couple of hours grinding down some plastic, and upgrading the fog lights :)

where's the tint place? down next to the kenpo karate lot? there's an awsome body work guy there, i've seen him do incredible work. nasty all slashed up gouge in the side, all gone, completely. marvelous work. i was thinking he could do me a body kit; or rebuild the front when i do my FMIC if is do a CRAZY FMIC :)

the tint place is behind the big buns cafe with the big buns sign. haa haa.

I thought about chasing after you in my scooter, but that might have seemed a little weird. :ph34r:

yeah i would ditch it too, but i know this guy i and like him a lot. i want to keep his sticker :)

yup! it's certainly getting strapped down that was just layed in there for the concept shot in the slot they have (for no appearent purpose) i would build up a mounting bracket from the original sword display. actually i'm thinking i'll get pulled over for it even though it is dull as a nickle.
