Thanks Alton! I started messing with reflection shots. Also got bored and painted the washer fluid cap. It came out decent. I gotta figure out what to do with those other caps and that yellow writing. It's killing my flow. :headbonk:

How'd you paint your OEM coolant? I too have a black/red theme and was thinking also of getting a red mishimoto but for the sake of just adding some color to the engine bay, might just be worth to paint the coolant tank

Got my custom door sill plates in today. Pics really do not do them justice. Also, went out and got some more shots with [MENTION=17459]altjx[/MENTION] and made myself "official" with a watermark. I am also buying some Mickey Thompson ET S/S to replace my NTO5R's, which hopefully should come in the next few weeks. :cheers:

Just read the entire thread. Man what a killer job you have done.
After modding the hell out of my S197, I told myself the S550 is so good, I'm going to stick with minimal mods....... then I read this.

Looks like I need to get busy. Your attention to all the small things really makes your car stand out and the fact you did most of it yourself is what I enjoy most about about this hobby.

Killer car, Killer job. :headbang:

Hey man I just want to say thanks for reading this whole thing. I know that can be painstaking, especially when certain pages is just dialogue back and forth. I have worked really hard on this car and initially I had not planned to heavily mod the vehicle. I got a great deal that I couldn't pass up and there came the Whipple. I've tried to do as much as possible on my own or with the help of friends to make the car my own and hopefully inspire others along the way. :thumbsup:

Removed my Nitto NTO5R's in place for some Mickey Thompson ET S/S. So far they are incredible! I finally get traction in first gear. I have yet to try a dig yet but @15-20mph in first gear I can go WOT with no issues. Also, took some pics of the car, enjoy.
