Here are a few pictures.
Now, keep in mind these are now old pictures, I am redoing the whole car.
Old side/front shoot.
Old engine w/ old SC
Old engine w/out SC
I have a new motor and different SC setup should be done this week by MTI.
Sound system..still keeping that
Interior shot.--Staying same as well for now.
This is what is coming to look like within a week or so. *Notice the twin intercoolers upfront.
Rear of my car will look the same but no black, it will be dark gray.
This is my new SC with the twins that are going in as I type this *notice how thick the intercoolers are 4.5inchs w/fans.
Lastly here is one of my new rims going on.
I am also doing some type of custom paint job, not sure yet. Man thats a lot of picutures, I hope you enjoyed. If you have any questions please let me know.

Headers and high flow cats would be good. New rear gears (3.73, 3.90 or 4.10) would help.
