Yeah i cut the whole for the intake and used a speaker box port as a trim piece. The suspension is Suspension Techniques springs and koni struts.

Regardless weather your paint is done or not. Its still better than mine. oh well I plan to get mine done soon. Car looks great tho man. Is it lowered as well? Some drops its hard to tell. I ahve B&G on mine and its lower than stock but barely. I bet with some Ground Controls that would look nice on your car... Good work buddy!

OOH nice rims, gots to get some. What size are they please and what size tires. Nice steering wheel cover, I wont tell and by the way I got one for Xmas from my kids. lol I like it. I don't see how it could get any shinier even with a wet sand. Looks great now. Are those glass head lites?

yeah the coolant overflow tube was the first thing I noticed missing but thats becasue before i blew my k8 the water pump was half dead and would blow off the overflow tube everytime i drove on the freeway im pretty sure my head gasket was blown...

That black is STUNNING!
I too am getting my car all prep'd for summer. Not as good looking as yours, John, but she still gives me that joy in the morning when i walk out and she's all clean and spiffy. Also, I got lucky when i was at the wrecking yards and found a sunroof visor in really good shape, i like the look of it, any thoughts?
(i was going to cheat and use photoshop to cover up the chipping in the crappy white paint, but maybe if i leave the pictures alone, I'll get motivated to do something about it)

How did you get the little halo in the Altezza's to light up? The ones I got don't have any kind of wiring to the halo's, so they're just there. I was gonna go to RadioShack and get some small bulbs to fit there or something. Did your altezza's come with wiring for the halo?

rofl, there's nothing there, i just used the sunlight and took a picture at the right angle, they are reflectors after all...
that would be really sweet though
