Props for throwing on an outstanding turbo kit too. If you ever need help with it let me know. I know a cople guys from from nationalspeed with the same kit. Such a damn shame what happened to momentum.

I would say you need to go with some gloss black advan wheels in 10/11 widths and offsets in the teens or some custom brushed forged setup with lip.

I enjoy Ontario. I take my jeep up to the little rideau for a fishing trip every year. Amazing fishing up there man...

Thanks, Ya, Randy @ Nationalspeed spent literally HOURS on the phone with me while I sat on my friends dyno and tuned this thing haha.

Ya, No brushed or crome on this car, Matte or bust for rims. Even in a month when this car goes back to stock Silver, rims will be matte.

Next time you go fishing up here let me know, I have a little cessna, and we can fly up to one of the small lakes in the back country of Calabogie or quebec and get some nice trout and pike. Bring your wife, mine likes to go fishing too haha.

The car came out great. There are some here that don't like plastic dip, but it's tough to argue with someone whose car may be getting a paint job in a month anyways!
It looks like you knew what you were doing and did a great job, so hat off to you.

to pull off matte, the car needs to be pretty aggressively modded IMO

^^ I'd have to agree, it's a great product but the rubber like finish is a little harder to clean than if it was clear coated. I couldn't even think about doing the whole car.
