Thumbs up New Dash & Trunk Updated Pix Check it out!

Well, after much anticipation and about a month between the my mechanic and the body shop, here is the final product...

Seibon CF Trunk lid with Prestige Edition lip spoiler







I had the Autobahn CF side vents, didnt' quite like them when they started to yellow so I had them painted


and of course my new dash toy, Cusco coilovers with the electronic control

Looks great! very clean. Great choice painting the CF vents.

Cusco coilovers w/ controls.........i hate you. The guage pod only heightens my hatred for you.

lip spoiler!!

the lip spoiler looks a-w-e-s-o-m-e!! is that the same things as the euro lip spoiler? it looks like it comes out a little more, but then again i've never seen the euro up close. where did you get the spoiler?

also, i need a new trunk lid, but don't want carbon fiber. where did you get yours and did they offer a non-carbon fiber version?

Thanks for all your comments guys, glad ya'll like it so far.

2tone, I think some people do call it the "euro version" Let me ask, you need a stock trunk lid? BTW I had a good friend of mine-who owns his shop here in San Jose-order the parts for me.

Woods, I'm glad I can inspire you my man, so go on right ahead and knock yourself out. I hadn't seen it done before so I thought it'll be a good way to spice things up in the rear ....

Renesis I'll be charging 3 bucks a mile, so just hit me up whenever you want....

looks good. are you thinking of adding any more cf on the car? just the back side of the trunk seems too little.

Woods, I'm in the Bay Area...

Ngo, I've thought about a Varis hood. I don't want a big chunk of CF on the car though, so I have to decide what sections of hood would be exposed. That's in the future though.

Hehe Ever I stopped by Rotorsport today and Paul said you had come to pick the car up today. Now I get to rag on you for copying my e-con mount.

sounds good. you have a very suttle amount exposed on the trunk, you should do the same with the hood. varis hood would look sick. maybe the areas with the vents kept cf.

Yes, my man you inspired me! I loved that mount you did. It didn't come out quite as clean looking like yours. One thing is certain though...We are some of the best looking 8 in the Bay!!! wooot. See you later Dick.

i really like that 2 tone'd look on the trunk, i wanted to do a cf trunk but i didn't want the entire trunk to be cf, this may be a serious possibility

looking good!
