Tom needs to be lowered into a nice sound proof booth.

Atleast the bumper is painted to match ;) Thats about all that is has going for the kit though. Just grab a nice stock talon bumper and that thing will be sweet.

It is nice and clean.

I got nothing against the bumper, but I am a true ricer at heart.

The blue brake calipers are ugly as sin though.

[IndiEP]

very clean. You plan on going 4 wheeling soon?

[Tachyon]

Thanks for the replys, guys.

I forgot to mention that I also came with the entire 4 bolt rear assembly (everything down to even have tires on the hubs lol) I havent decided if i'm even going to bother keeping the front bumper cover, I rather like the look of stock. And yes the calipers are the ugly (I smell TCE Wilwoods in the future)... Anyhoo I have ambitious plans for the car (including building up a 4GCS motor over winter) but not a lot of time right now with school starting At any rate as soon as I get my digital camera back ill be building a website to show the progress of the whole project (not that the project ever has an ending point if you know what I mean :dsmrule: ) Anyhoo next summer will be uber.

4gcs? what is it and where do I get one? Clean car.

Uhh, the factory downpipe is braced, it is a good idea over the long run for any manifold to not have to support the weight of the turbo and downpipe by itself. Obviously a tubular manifold is not going to have the same strength as a cast piece, especially with the kind of heat cycles it experiences.

There was never anything wrong with their manifolds, only the people that installed them. They do give a performance increase, and there probably even better designs by now. Cast is always going to be more durable though.
