Nice setup Kricci, 400whp must be fun. I was looking through your progression thread and the only thing is I think your stock hood was much cleaner than the CF.
My next mod is definitely guna be boost. How's the stock motor treating you so far at 400whp?

Thanks man - i too like the OEM hood as well, however this helps with heat soak and keeps the engine a little cooler so it is more for function over form...
I've been boosted for over 8000 miles so far and it's running well - I have an OC motor, so i just keep tabs on the oil OFTEN and know that i will have to rebuild in the future, hopefully next spring so i can get the smaller pulley and shoot for about 450 or so...
When i picked up the car after the tune i thought to myself, damn, i should've done this a long time ago! LOL

Looks great OMG!
Are the wheels chrome? They look really good. Also - is that an emblemless grill, or just an OEM one without the meblem - tough to tell in the pictures..

are you doing it personally?! If so, make sure that you heat the paint enough - mine were rolled in March in Ohio and the paint cracked due to them not heating the paint enough...
yeah.. i got a heat gun so imma heat them up real good. where did your paint crack? on the outside or on the inner lip part?

The inner part. Could be a big deal for you being up north with the road salt, it could start rusting soon... Just a friendly reminder, be careful and good luck!!
