Neatly packaged turbo! I can't get "LFAke" out of my head even though the body kit looks nicely done. Certainly not the style direction for me, as something more ft86 seems more genuine, but well done on manufacture and execution!

When I saw this thread I was hoping they would have the LFA style taillights, I hope someone makes something like that cause I would definitely buy them. Not sure I would actually do the whole body kit, looks cool but hard to get away from the pretending factor.

If anyone knows if there are taillights similar to the LFA let me know please!

Wouldnt do it to mine but the execution is fantastic! Congrats on a very unique build and I have no doubt this will be a show stopper.

I like the front bumper a lot, it looks LFA inspired without trying to be an LFA. The rear on the other hand...

The front is like the Prius C and the rear end is just unnecessary. Turbo placement is ideal, but not sure about such unequal length piping, one side of the engine will get more exhaust back pressure sooner than the other.

Engine oil and and automatic transmission oil pan also need to be shielded from the exhaust heat. Turbo will only increase that heat and things will start breaking real fast.
