The last of the exterior stuff. I swear!!!:)
Bakemono CF S201 hood scoop. (because the stock one looks rinky dink next to the roof scoop going on there)
And man is this thing built like a brick s#!thouse...
And because the Sport bumper though quite pretty on its own still needs something to tie into the sideskirts and spats...Burn-Up front lip FTW!!!
Should look nice once installed and color matched...

Burn-Up Lip/Bakemono S201 Scoop test fit...
Sorry for the washed out pics. Had to punch up levels in PS because I forgot to use flash...And again sorry for the JDM angle in the one shot. I had no room to get a full on 3/4 view...
Still waiting for Aero Mud guards to show up...Still have to order them Enkei RC-T4's as well...Stay tuned!!!

Now that the exterior is well on its way to completion...Time to bring focus back under the hood...JDM GDB STI power steering cooler on its way...

JDM S202 Oil cooler...
Purchased off a NASIOC member...
As pictured by the seller...Looked like it needed a little TLC...Came from Japan so it arrived with some salt deposites encrusted in the core. Other than that it was in great shape...A little love with a Dremel/Wire wheel/Engine degreaser and it looks much better...
After...
Pointing out a small STI logo on the filter adapter
Cleaned out the salt deposites and fixed a few bent fins. Then masked off the STI logo and resprayed with a flat white base followed by Krylon "Watermelon" The white helps give the pink that "pop"
Stands out more at an angle
