Wow, you were able to keep your washer tank with those IC pipe mods. Very nice but why not just use the one the Greddy IC kit comes with.

the shop did the install and I'm assuming they just made the pipes fit around the stock washer tank...

edit: I think the real reason is that I bought the kit without the fmic because I wanted a custom made fmic to fit the bumper and not lose the crash bar. Therefore, because my fabbed fmic sits lower and attatches to the crash bar, along with custom made piping, they were able to keep the stock washer tank.

Thanks Eric...I still have the same wheels but they're in Ohio right now getting a reflective black finish on the faces (black chrome). I had them powdered gloss black, but I thought it clashed too much with the silver so I opted for this black chromoly finish. When I saw the demo wheel they had at the place that powdered my wheels, I knew that's what I wanted.

Wait, so you got the Greddy IC without having to buy the kit? How did you pull that off? Is that not the Greddy IC but looks a lot like it?

Those are going to look hot. I am on the market now for a set of TE28N. I am still keeping the Gram Light Pros but just want something else to switch things up a bit. My next handful of mods are going to be my exhaust, carbon fiber trunk and spliter, and the UTR roof wing and the trunk wing. Hopefully if everything is the way I want I will be joining the FI class sometime the end of June.

No, this is not the Greddy fmic. I bought the TT kit without the fmic. This one was custom made. The shop purchased a 3 inch core to fill the 3 foot wide opening on the bumper and welded the end tanks and piping by hand. They also trimmed the crash bar to attach the fmic and reinforced it. Came out pretty nice if you ask me

Very nice, I'd reconsider the splitter idea, though. The TS front is already low and I bet you'll crack that splitter within a week...would look nice tho. Jerome has a set of CE28N in black chrome...those wheels are sick!!

Hurry up and join the FI bandwagon

I agree. It's hard to match factory paint, especially metallic colors because the metallic flakes are in a certain pattern on the oem paint and it's hard to duplicate.

The wheels are Maya GR5.

i liked the way u hide ur auto ;0) sneaky

front looks nice, if thats kit is your style and engine looks mean and i bet sounds even meaner =0) congrates man

matching paint color is def a art, but once you get the propper system and scale, you should be fine, we havent had any problems since we got our new system in

im painting my whole car now and begun preping my body kit, got some custom stuff being done aswell

I'm not hiding it I just think it looks cleaner with a boot It's pretty easy to tell that's an AT shift ***
