Hi guys,
You guys might think the front bar isn't the best, neither do I, but that is the SARD front bar, looks MUCH better in person.

Yeah... that what I figured... I know that I like other aspects of the Sard kit, and I bet if I was to see it live it would grow on me...

i think the car as a whole (minus the exhaust of course) looks realy good! i love the curves of the Sard kit, and especialy love how clean the engine is. It takes a lot of patience to keep an engine bay clean like that. I'm also equaly impressed with the time slip and cool video too what psi was he pushing on that 12.8 run?

Here are a few more pics... come to think of it, it doesn't look at all that bad, especially from a side-on view.

How rice the enginge bay is?I think that the engine looks clean and custom... its not like he just threw some colored wires into there, then spray painted his radiator cover... (that would be rice.) this car looks clean under its hood in my opinion.
