T3/T4 .58 trim, 3" full exhaust, 31" intercooler, accumulator mod done to help auto trans perform, mbc, 650cc injectors, msd ignition, 3" amm, just needs some finishing up (chips and ebc) The sun-faded paint has to stay, stealth is a must when embarrassing ricers. It's what's under the hood that counts IMO, sorry pics are kinda huge
