I was thinking 03-04 rear bumper with Ionic lip. Looks perfect imo, then again I have an 03 and Im an Ionic supporter. LOL

That's all I've used is wood pieces. If you have to have some though, look on summitracing.com and search for race ramps.

I can't even make it up race ramps, just small pieces of wood for me.

so i have been busy in the bay and have alot of updates coming soon. first round is a polished lower plenum from sean, a polished plenum spacer from a local shop that does good work, and i wrapped that vacuum hose with some stainless steel braid. im sooo ready to do the timing cover but sean doesnt have my style cover in stock so i have to wait. but next update should have my VTC solenoids polished and installed, polished cam covers installed, powdercoated strut bar brackets and a couple other things.

pics:



o yea wire tuck next week!!!!!

Gotta love the bling bling in the bay Nice work. Get some polishing compound for under the hood and all painted section of the engine bay. It really does quick work of any dirt and grease

I'm going to build these one day. You may want to consider them. Its the cheapest alternative to buying actual race ramps.

Meh, that's ok... easy (and pretty cheap) fix to that: http://www.allensfasteners.com/detai...oduct_ID=70651


Everything else is spot-on though. Nice work!
