Thanks I had gotten the car detailed and they spent a little bit of time cleaning under the hood. The dealer actually did give me a little bit of a discount but nothing major.

Ha I totally agree. I did wish the Supercharger whine was a little louder. I've seen other videos online and their SC's sounded much louder.

Thanks. I threw up in my mouth the first time I saw them. Your ride is sick. I saw you crusing down H1 one day. You might have seen my car halfway through the transformation.

Yeah I just saw them. His ride looks clean. I was never a fan of the RJ kit though...especially for the price.

I love the SC. I try to drive like a normal human being but every so often some kid will test me with his IS250 or Maxima.

I got military orders to Hawaii so the government pays to ship your vehicle overseas for you. They just throw it on a barge and it takes about a week for the ship to get over there. I think normally it would cost around $1200. I can't remember if they put the car in a container but either way it came back dirty as hell. And I totally agree with the wheels. They were pretty disgusting.

That's what we've been told so far. The doctors gave us an early November due date.

Are you still using the intake that came with the SC? Custom intakes will give you a much louder whine.

Yeah I'm running the filter that came with the kit. Where can I get a custom one?

Yeah he definitely knows what he's doing. Plus he just did his roof and trunk so I assumed the hood would be much easier to do in comparison.

I'm running just the kit from comptech. Other than that it hasn't been tuned or anything like that.

Thanks bro. I got the SC installed at Napolean's Garage in Vegas by the racetrack. They charged me $600. I'm usually back and forth from the Bay Area to Vegas.

No these are the Magnaflow 14815. 3" quad tips. I wanted a 3.5" to 4" tip but I just went with these because they got good reviews and they sounded really good. Plus overall by exhaust setup is a lot cheaper than the ATLP.

Looks sick! You should try to match the mesh grill in your lower bumper. If not you can go here...this is the place I got mine from: http://customcargrills.com/products.asp?cat=27

I went with the small hexagon grill. Any more pics from farther away?

thanks for the link. I was actually looking them last night. I'm not going to go with the same perforated mesh that is on my lower bumper. For the open mouth it's gonna look fugly. I'm gonna change it all up and go with the oval that you've linked me. Will take further shots later and keep you posted.

his mods aren't for everyone obviously. Sorry you don't approve but at least respect the work he put in. I've seen it in person and the mods goes well for his car.
