Another question: do people do carbon fiber overlays on hoods at all?

btw, congrats on the trophies car looking sick !
I mean you can do cf vinyl on your hood, it won't ever look like true cf tho.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The white calipers are a pain to keep clean and free of stains... I want to redo them soon.

Christmas/Girlfriend brought me a Mishimoto oil catch can and dual 480c compressors. I'm starting a rebuild of my trunk setup soon with a more elaborate hard line setup soon

Don't think I've ever posted any videos but here's some cabin "noise" of me playing around in Houston.

Lol luckily I'm used to it and it's not always lit up.

Well since it's a build thread, here's what's in process of getting installed. A couple seamless 4 gallon tanks, the dual 480c's and chrome water traps. Will be adding some powder coating to some items after I bend all the hard lines for the new arrangement.

Powder coated the mishimoto oil catch can and my seamless air tanks to match the wheels. Can finally get back to redoing my trunk now

Probably not, and definitely not for the time being. With my meth injection setup built into the floor and the two 4 gallon tanks, not much room but I want to eventually build some small boxes for maybe a 10" or dual 10's. Bass isn't really an interest anymore after having a daily with a crap system lol

you could probably fit the 4080 box in the corner just for show points.

Nice build really love the hood, fell in love when I saw it. Any luck on a gauge pod? Maybe a-pillar one. Reason I am asking is I have oil pressure and oil temp gauge that i want to put in.

For the pric of those 4080's I'd rather build something custom.

Thanks. Gauge pod, no, no luck. I started to fabricate one and then ran out of time (Wekfest last fall). I have PLX gauge, so PLX makes a cheap, thin little mount but I'm not feeling it. A-pillar, a lot of people complain about us having the air bag there, but I'm still not opposed to putting my gauge there, just want it to look nice so I will probably end up making something ths year.
