Looks great, man! Welcome to the site. laugh.gif
Have you done any exterior mods, or just performance? Did you do the work yourself?

Right now I just have this one, but the hood is going to be all fiber glass with a different design cause is too heavy... A top mounted tubo is very easy to work with...

Wow I love the look of the top mount turbo, i'm sure the hood looks intimidating as hell too. Welcome!
