While pondering my next modification (Aquamist), I stumbled upon these pics:






Anyone care to share any info? The owner is apparently a Chris Muzio. Work done presumably at Mel's Auto in San Marcos.....

I like the look under the bonnett. Don't like that intercooler though, needs to go somewhere else in my opinion.
I think M7's is almost done and is getting ready to be released, there's some info. on it at m7tuning.com now.

Not to dog his work, but the whole setup looks like one big afterthought.
