side moulds just dont do it for me.. you have to see the car to be able to tell how good it looks without them on Quote: Originally Posted by [JET A1] car looks awsom juls, cant wait too see what my bay will end up looking like. Skip is a master with the metal and the cv boys sure know there ****. yeah should look similar only your plenum chamber will be different and ull run an extra tank in the car for the methanol i think. either way, will look insane!!

Side moulds add 2kg's of weight aswell and that's not needed Car looks awesome, those engine bay pics show off the paint nicely, orange was a colour I once considered - definitely stands out and looks awesome. What kind of power should be coming out of this setup? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
