THE BUILD PLANS
1) Go single turbo is my big plan for now... (debating to build the motor I.E. rods cams pistons etc.) or just go for 650whp and get a good tune. idk yet.
2) going to rebuild rims to be bigger and a bigger offset. thinking 18x10.5 rear 0 offset and 18x9.5 front 0 offset
3) also going with vertex rear bumper and wise front lip.
4)the rest u'll just have to stay tuned for
