Nice choices there, R1cky!

Ordered new tires.

Then I got a call from discount tire direct, 275/35/19 PSS are out of stock and "according to Michelin, they won't be shipping anymore". Ugh. The new PS4 is another 200+

Also added the Zmotoring undertray.
Not the best picture i admit.
And finally doing some late night engine bay painting. I'm pooped. 2 more coats to go...

Looks like you're getting pretty good w/ that vinyl. I always save my vinyl backing pieces just in case I need to do a re-wrap, makes a great template.

I ran a test with a bumper vent with my previous turbo car which should easily multiply any gains. I saw a drop of about 3 degrees on average of intake temps which amounted to no gain in power. Just fyi

Go look at his youtube channel. He's the same guy who painted his non-sport calipers all glow-in-the-dark. Seriously.

You know, sometimes mod projects are so crazy that you can't help but appreciate the creativity and uniqueness it takes to make them happen. Unfortunately, this isn't one of those times, it's not even close. But if he keeps at it... who knows?
