if you don't mind me asking. How did you manage to pay for that carbon c-one bonnet? Those things cost $1,400 brand new.

btw good stuff so far. Paint on Valve Cover looks good but on the other parts, meh not something I'd prefer.

well car is running pretty cool pretty fast but have this massive MPG problem lol like 2 to 5 miles to the gallon ... It was suggested to me the o2 sensor is more than liely bad and the fact i had nothing grounding on the engine ie... alternator bracket, transmission, and battery lol. but I've done all that however when I went to do the o2 sensor i purchesed the speacial o2 nut remover and yo lol the dam sensor ripped all the thread off the cat-dump pipe.
Soooooo I now have the buy a new downpipe for the 4th gen 3sgte witch is 189 dollars cause yes the bolt pattern is diffrent and oh yea a new o2 sensor
