car is amazing. i dont know if this was said or not because i havnt read through 5 pages but i would recommend spacers. the wheels look to sunk in.

great build and really incredible stuff you have done on your own. but i would try to make the wheels look more aggresive.

appreciate it man! thats the goal, when doing something custom, the small things people notice is what makes things unique, and makes your work stand out. thanks again.

the placement of the gauges is perfect

but honestly... I think you really should have sprung for an A/F Gauge thats the most important part of the car...

I would've done A/F Gauge, Water Temp and Oil Temp... oil pressure the mid determines

ps. I really wished you woulda wrapped pod in cf just for eye candy, but the matching fabric adds to the mystic that is ur ride...

ok how much could i adjust the A/F ratio on a non FI car? i was contemplating it. but didn't know how much it would benefit having one, give me some insight on this.

as far as the CF on the panel i thought of it just didn't want to over-do it. plus it might have clashed to much putting some there, the cloth makes it look very clean.

thanks for the compliment brother! thats what im striving for here whenever i see someone mod their car it makes me wanna do something else to mine. to raise the bar just a little higher.

Don't remember the exact price, but it has a 30% adder for the real CF.
Is that the option you went with? Thanks
