The wheels look good. Not a fan of the hood. I hope you didn't actually paint your headlamps.

Thanks guys! Appreciate all the positive feedback, I know it is not as extreme as most peoples build, but it is what I can afford at the moment. Down the road I plan to turbo it, but that is far down the road.. Also sorry for the delay on the exhaust video, I am still trying to find it.

No I did not paint them, I had them tinted with the bumper protector film in black, rock chips have nothing on me :P

I'm torn on the hood, I figure with the way you are going currently it will fit the car nicely, just looked kinda funny at first nearly stock. It will be interesting to see where you go from here on out. I like the idea with the blacked headlights too.

Thanks man, I appreciate you being honest. I'm going for the more exotic/racecar approach. Next will be suspension upgrades I believe. But I have in the works plans to twin charge it if GAZOO racing develops it. Seems to be the most effective way.

The car is definitely coming together the more you do to it. Twin charge huh, I am still learning how to handle the 200hp I currently have . Any guess on HP and torque after that?

This tells all about what they will offer, the thing is beast. Offering 320HP and similar torque. I think it is by far the best combo for the frs. You get that low end power and high end, cannot beat that.

Car looks nice. I like the hood. Color choice on the wheels is right too!

Thanks bob! I want to do some of the suspension upgrades like you have, so I will be checking out that brand you are using.

Points to you for being an adult and rolling with both the positive and negative criticism!

I think your hood/wheels/lights really pull this look together nicely...very unique/aggressive but still a GT-86.

Well done!!!!

Well thanks man, Yeah being immature and yelling at someone will only make you look bad. The way I look at it, as long as I like my car, that is all that matters And all other compliments are just a pat on the back and does make me feel accomplished.
