Oh and for those who never liked my CF Stillen hood, it is not on the car any more. It was damaged while at a show last weekend and instead of getting another one I have decided to save the money toward my engine build or different brakes.

Someone tried to latch it and then pushed down too hard leaving a ~12" round crack where the resin gave out. The CF is still fine but the crack is big.

He is paying me for it which is very cool so I can put it back into the car. I never would have gotten the hood if I didn't have the Stillen blower and now that is gone so it's not a "need". I would rather have a built motor earlier than a new hood.

Yeah me too. Right now I am still in debt over my last round of mods so I would like to hold off until I have some more cash. But the peace of mind that comes with a built motor would be so nice!

You'll never be out of debt. Some people get mod bugs, you have a full blown virus going on.
If I had the cash flow, I would do the same

LOL

Yes I do!!! I went out and messed with my tune and the car is very happy now. I can admit that the twins have not gotten old at all. I'm the kind of person who always gets tired of stuff but in 6 months they are still a blast. BTW, I wanted more from my Stillen SC by week #2.

The motor build may come down the line but I am thinking a rear 4-pot kit and a custom CF splitter would be better first.

It will help quite a bit but I can't compare it to much. Before this kit I had oem size rotors with different pads.

Thanks They are even dirty in those pics and look better in person.

Plastic cleaner and polish + 3M clear bra will do the trick.

When I got the car it was 1.5 years old and the lights looked like complete crap. After a lot of work they were better and the clear bra will help prevent the fogging.

I'm going out of town for a couple days but I'll see if I can get some video for you when I get back. It moves the cutoff way up but is still angled on the sides.

Thanks

I made the headlights from a set of S2000 and Acura TL projectors and the AAC demon eye kit.
