It's the Stillen carbon fiber hood. I had to install it to fit the supercharger. A friend who owns a body shop painted part of it to fit the lines on the car. He put 6 coats of clear so you can't even feel where the paint ends which came out very nice.

Damn..looks sweet! I too am not usually a fan of chrome, until now ( you pull it off ). BTW - really looks like you maxed out the rear...there really doesn't look like there's that much room! You can't ride w/ 4 people in the car....can you?

I don't rub at all, believe it or not they do tuck... I have had 5 people in my car with no problems. I also took a hard drive up one of the mountains here and even pushing it to the limits there is no rubbing.

WOW....you either really did your research on these, or got lucky!! Congrats!

Were you riding on Falken's on your Zinettis' also, or is this a change in tire brand for you?

I had +43's on my Zenetti's and since the difference is about 1/8" I thought I would try.

I had Nitto 555's on my Zenetti's and still have them on my rears. The fronts were about gone so I got Falken FK452's. They are very good tires for the price and I will replace my rears with them in a couple months when the 555's are gone.

Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me that everyone on here likes my car. I did everything the way I wanted it and to get approval makes it even better.

OK here are the other pics that were requested. Don't mind the dust or swirls. I tried to run my duster over it and had bad results. I was trying to take them after I ate lunch. You get the idea.

Side shot:




Lower rear to see the width of the wheels: (this was the best one I could get before my camera battery died.

I love those! I just got the black S-55's on my Coupe, and even without dropping it it looks sick! Your sedan is nice!

Almost all my mods are listed in the link "CAR" in my signature. I need to update that post.

SC or turbo is a highly debated topic. In my opinion I would take a roots supercharger over a centrifugal supercharger or a single turbo because of the lag. It does not make as much power but makes way more down low and has good average hp. I would take a good twin turbo (like the APS or JWT) over any of them because you don't have much lag and you get more top end.

That is just my $0.02, lets go discuss this more in the forced induction section or PM's if you want to talk more so this thread can stay on topic.
haha my bad about going off topic!~
checked out your mods.. it seems like the mods are worth more than the car..
anyways your ride is one of the top 5 sedans i've ever seen...
nice work!!
thanks for the pic as well...
wow...lost of words..
i love wide tires..
