I was actually thinking of getting the aftermarket 03 Cobra rear bumper since it has no letters in it. I have left over paint so it wouldn't really be a problem for when I decide lol
Paint looks great!

Thanks man :thumbsup:

quick question if you dont mind.

what process did you use to clean and paint the rotors?

The rotor's were brand new but to clean and paint the hat's I took a red scotch-brite pad to rough up the surface then used a cleaner called DX330 which is a oil,glue etc cleanser that we use to wipe down the car's with before paint. Hit the rotor hats with duplicolor black caliper paint and that's it let it dry and install.

All back together at the alignment shop now for Alignment,Inspection,and to have the front end leveled out since the floors in my shop are so damn uneven it's impossible to dial in the coilovers. New 5% tint all around on Wed's and hitting a couple shows this weekend!

dunno what you ever did about the coilovers/struts but i ran the strange struts with the upr coilovers with no problems...my buddy still runs the same setup.

the strange struts i used had a little plastic dust cover that just slid right off.

The Strange struts I have have a metal dust cap which isn't a big deal to remove. I was going to swap them out with the 90/10's in the car now but decided to go with Tokico Illumina's instead.

It's nice to see someone that properly knows how to make a finished product. Unlike the person that originally (for the lack of a better word) built the car. Nice job!!!!!

Very nice build man! Very impressive. Its nice to finally see a 2V push a YSi to 25+psi. A lot of times I see them only making like 21-22psi.

What heads and cams do you have allowing you to keep making power to 7200rpm?? Thats badass.

Also, are you from Rockland MA?
