Okay, have some catching up to do so I'll jump right in.
Wheels are done. Took longer than I wanted... but they're done.
Also went ahead and tore down the headlights so I could swap out the side markers for clear "Euro" styled ones to tie in with the rest of the lighting. Took the opportunity to repaint everything, too. Went ahead and threw some carbon fiber vinyl I had laying around on the top to keep the light from bleeding through the gap between the hood and fenders.
Between the headlights and the wheels, the front-end already looks much better.
Moving back to the trunk... one thing that bothered me was that the Watson Racing battery kit did not come with a cover. Even with a Lithium battery, it looks unsightly. Grabbed some aluminum and quick bent up a cover.
Just sitting in place, but you get the idea
Jumping back up to the front, I swapped out the methanol lines for some a bit longer. Ran them through the intake valley, so they're tucked away and clean. Also swapped the radiator over to Mishimoto's larger 3 core. So hopefully we'll see some real cool temps. Rounded out the front suspension with some spherical bushings for the control arms as well as a bump-steer kit.
Finally made my way back to the interior to take care of a few more small details. Swapped out the start button cover for a "carbon fiber" version. Wish I could have found a real carbon piece, but this will do just fine. Also added a carbon trim ring on the cupholder, as well as the upper and lower speakers.
Tires get mounted tonight- car should finally be on the ground this weekend and ready for her tuning/dyno appointment next week.
