He still have em? I'll buy them...

"I don't know why"... People act like you can't get a barrel or lip on any rim repaired for less then 80 bucks

Seriously though, if he has em I'll buy.

Hows driving the car with the turbo kit? Over 300wheel is traction a problem?

I have no traction issue with my tire setup unless I go from a dig

Your tails don't have the matte look to them, did you polish them after painting? Also, how is the brake light visibility?

Wish they made these with black housing and red tint.

Two questions. Do you have details on what you did for the self made brake cooling ducts? I'm looking at all the ideas and how I could use them along with FBM's new oil cooler. Second question is how much/do you think the guys that made your intercooler will offer this to the rest of us? And how we can add it to the pipeing of current kits like the FBM kit?

I know thats a lot but hot damn I have major intercooler envy right now.

Edit: Why does that look like it's in front of the bumpers crossmember?

Your car just gets better and better!

I can pretty much blame your car for tipping me over the edge and trading my scirocco in for a nice black gt86 - if it ends up looking a 10th as good as yours I'll be a happy boy!

No, these don't have a matte look. They have a pretty glossy finish. I did not polish them. Brake light visibility is still 100%. I'll try to get some night shots.

Edit: Why does that look like it's in front of the bumpers crossmember?
1: I just pretty much cut out all the fake looking vents from the factory housing and added my own mesh wire that I got from Home Depot.

2: I don't know how much they would charge yet. I'm actually about to order another one for someone else. So I'll let you know what they charge me. I'm not sure on how to get it to fit with FB's kit. Mine was custom built with my kit I asked my builder what H/W/L he needed and I sent that info off to ETS.

3: I don't run my front crash beam. That's why I was able to get my inter cooler in there the way it is.

I noticed you're in Houston... Where did you get your car tinted at? I'm looking for a good reputable place. Car looks great by the way!
