Well it's finally completed (well for now :D) and wanted to share with the forum. Can't believe how much different the car looks and feels. Have met some great guys on this board and excellent vendors too.

• Roe Engine Management System (Smooth through every gear ....Thx Sean)
• 14" Big Brakes (Thx Jon B)
• Carbon Air Box & Smooth Tubes
• Full Corsa System ( How did I even have stock exhaust)
• CCW SP600 ( Had them black chromed, pics don't do them justice. Thx Dan)
• Michelin PS2's (They are so quiet and stick like glue)
• Complete MCS Suspension (Mark Jorgensen & Lex Carson, rides & handles amazing!)
• Tinting & Paint ( Rod @ Precision Auto Works)
• Short Shifter

Wanted to thank all the folks who post detailed installations on this forum ....it helped me out a ton.

Best

Lu

That looks AMAZING! How and where did you mount the canisters for the MCS suspension?

Maybe its my screen, but the stripe color seems to be different than any other I've seen. I like it.....quite unique.

Looks really good. I'm not a fan of the tinted headlights/tail lights though. If just the backup lights were kept tinted, that'd look really good. Also, the wheels need to be black!All just opinions. Still looks good.

The color is House of Kolors - Candy Colbolt Blue.

Yes it looks blue/purple color when it's dusk and looks black at night. Under high sun it looks like viper blue. Because it's a candy over silver with a ton of natural pearl it changes color drastically under different types of light.

I attached a few pics of where I put my rear reservoirs but I'll need to take some of the fronts (mounted on the towers for easy access).

The tinted headlights are actually 3M clear-bra which is only 8-9% reduction. It looks darker in the pictures because there is no reflectors in the headlights and the steep angle of the lights. It's the same on the fogs but because they are vertical and have reflectors they appear brighter. Not a noticeable difference at night but helps to blendin the lights. On the rears they appear darker than they are because of the light but are plenty bright during the day. On the turns I inserted clear lenses with amber lamps.

Black wheels ....well of course my option but black on black is just too much for me. However I didn't want polished either. These have deep smoke and appear black in certain light but have the luster of chrome. IMHO great contrast to the black without drowning out the wheel shape.

I'm not crazy about the blue in the first pics, but I really like it in the follow-up pics with different lighting. Regardless, the car looks fantastic. Great job!

How do you like the mcs suspension? Can I ask why you chose this system over kw's or motons?

Sorry for the delayed response. Love the MCS system. So easily adjustable in every situation I've tried it so far. They not only made them up and sent them out quick but received great customer support from Mark J and Lex. They we spot on for adjustments and initial set-up. id be happy to elaborate further if you want to drop me an email. [email protected]
