New pics/ Mods. Alta, strut, LEDs.

**ADDED NEW IMAGES JUNE 06 2009**

I have a 17% ALTA Pulley, Napa 535 belt, and ALTA tens stop, I just need them to get installed. I installed: ALTA CAI, Aspec Front Strut Tower Brace, Bridestone Potenza Grids, Spare White MINI Wheel, auto DSC off mod & auto windows up mod (both using ians circuit), autometer boost gauge and mounting cup, led lighting, chrome side marker/ turnsignal bulbs(to make clear euro look when off), ALTA license plate frame, and 8500k headlights.
















I ditched the runflats for Bridgestone Potenza Grids and also bungee'd a White MINI wheel to the boot.



8500k headlights



Blue LEDS dome lighting.



Boost Gauge



Lighting Orange LEDS/ Gauges

Nice looking car......but I would want to be in an accident with that tire only bungied in the back. Straps would be a better option.
