Looks good. Clean, nice lines, nice paint, nice stance. Power can always be added later.

Where did you buy that for your upper radiator hose?

BTW nice looking non turbo. I can't decide whether I like those side skirts better than the turbo side skirts or not.

Wow that's one of the cleanest 1gs I've yet seen. So sad to see it's na :(

I also love the braided line going from the intake to the vc. lol so un-needed, yet so baller haha. Those things are pretty pricey aren't they?

i got the whole hose cover kit deal for 40bucks, hahaha, it just kinda adds to the engine bay. plus its covering up a piece of bright blue hose i used for my breather tube, HAHHA

Thanks for the kudos!

I've seen your car on a few forums now, still very clean. Welcome to the site.

Yea, but where did you get it from?

I'm interested in doing some non power adding engine bling.

Very nice. Have you dyno'd it at all? Would be interesting to see what it does once it gets a little tune done.
