Nice aero look.

What exhaust is that?

Planning for CF side mirrors too?

Nice tread design stripes.

I hope the cops in your area don't stick to you like magnetseek2:

thanks!!
exhaust is just something i had done, nothing special just sounds deep.
cf mirrors are in the works.
i know what you mean by cops, the drive to get to my house is where the chp and local cops hang out, it's a speed trap!!

Are these the ones?

http://www.mossmini.com/Shop/ViewPro...eIndexID=45872

If so, they're only $120 for the pair. I've been looking for black tail lights with round lenses FOREVER for my 06 Cabro, but I'm not sure if I like the "popped out" large lens in the center... there are several options like THIS (I love these lights) for the '02-'04's but since '05 and up need backup lights in the lens, there seems to be a gap.

Very nice. I'd love to hear if you think the M7 DFIC helps your MCSa performance. I am ordering one today for my MCSa.

it's similar but not quite the same, these are called bullet lights. mine does not have the glass lens all three lenses extrude from the housing.

Ah yes, I see the protrusions now... it's a subtle difference, but it's at least a SIMILAR look, anyway. Did you have to paint the black around the lenses yourself, or did they come that way?

i spoke to peter about my car and he recommeded i only do engine mods that would make sense in increasing performance, and the dfic was one of them. i wanted to go all out and get the cosworth heads and stage 3 or 4, i think, but he said i would only be wasting money. honest guy and great to deal with!!

Very, very nice.. I like the contrast of the black interior and the white dash... and the front bumper is very clean, a nice slight mod over the regular Aero kit..

I see you've got some Palo Uber rims.. Would you happen to have any additional pics of the rims?.. maybe a side or 3/4 shot of the whole car?..

Looks Fantastic.. Thanks you very much.. I knew I'd seen those wheels somewhere other than Palo Uber!! Now I just need to shop around and find a local powdercoater.. $1800 is a little steep when Axis sells them directly for $225 each..

i am glad you had no issues good for ya!!! too bad for me eh!!! i spent $$$$ and a lot at that, wasn't very happy with the end result for the money spent and the service provided, i won't get into details as i don't have too, i already see it's caught some attention!!!

the stripe was on my other car before and so i decided to put something different.

on a different note, thanks for the complements!!
