You read my mind. The extent of exterior mods are going to be a TTE lip and small roof spoiler. Of course, I will go crazy and end up kitting it, but that is the plan.

In My Opinion I Would Not Put A Whole Kit On It. If You Think You Had Problems Getting It On The Rack Before Wait Till You Put A Kit On. I Say A Nice Lip Would Do The Job. Very V.i.p.!!!

Default Nice!

Your car looks really nice and clean. I love the added touch to the brake calipers. A TTE Lip would give it a proper look for a nice clean start up front and you can build from there. Keep up the great work.



I love the Donz wheels. Great choice and the right guy to deal with! Go D2, Go D2!

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I could not be happier with the way it turned out. After some of your suggestions, I definitely think I will go with the TTE lip because I do not want to drag everywhere I go. If I was bagged, it would not be as big an issue.

As for speed, the VR-4 is definitely faster. I have just about every bolt-on imaginable running 15psi daily. She is a solid 12 second car with a 0-60 time in the 4 second range. I have everything in place such as fuel and managment to upgrade turbos, but I have been waiting on the factory snails to give up the ghost. So far, they have been super reliable.



In regards to the wheels, they are not Saleen but actually 19x9 Moda R6's with 275 series on all 4 corners. The R6 was always one of my favorite wheels because of the classic 5-spoke design.
