Advans are lookin sexy! Welcome to the world of efficient exhaust manifolds gram! I really love the airbox btw. I'm assuming it's designed to work with an HKS short ram intake? I look at your HKS airbox and....I jizzed in my pants.

I am really enjoying the sound of this car now. It is very different compared to the standard thump of the un-equal leanth headers.
And yes, the airbox is all HKS. Its the "Reloaded Short Ram" mated to the Zerosports Intake Pipe with 10,000 hose clamps.

No not yet. I still have to roll the front fenders and pull the rears. I was waiting on a new front fedner, which arrived yesterday, and now its just materials. (ie: seam sealer, clamps, acrylic remover, etc.)
I may do the front fedner swap Saturday and try and get them rolled.

The rears are another story. TONS of work to get this offset to fit.

You ever sell that lip?

I think my friend at Forge has moved on to other things. He was their VP of US distribution.
In the end, it turned out his hook-up wasn't that great when we couldn't source the Prova BPV manufactured by Forge for Prova Japan. Its black chrome and just dead sexy.
I have a new source but dont have $600+ for a BPV.
