For why...you don't have an SC, those are gonna be useless, but then again, you're going all aesthetics anyways.

you wouldn't. but those pulleys will do nothing for you performance wise. not sure if you were putting em in for performance but we're just letting you know. only an aftermarket crank pulley (OEM size or underdrive) will noticeably free up power in an NA (naturally aspirated) car.

I like the way your car looks right now man. Personally I'm not into the VIP scene but every man to his own opinion right? As long as it makes you happy that's all that matters. Do you think you could post a video of how your exhaust sounds? I'd really like to hear it haha

far from "VIP"...but definitely VIP-styled....remember there are only certain chassis that are considered true VIP. I like the progression of the car for sure though. Keep it up
