yeah that intercooler is not a very base model friendly one, the front bumper had to suffer, im hoping a RK front lip will help make up for it

car looks good, but fyi, a rear bar that is bigger than the front will result in some horribly scary handling characteristics.

good luck, and keep working at it.

I didn't see your submission on the sticky thread (may have overlooked it though)...you may want to link so that it is officially entered... Any interior work? Would like to see an interior pic... No point is having something shiny on the outside if the inside hasn't been kept up with as well....
