I like it better without the decals because without them the car has an air of mystery—"I wonder what he's got in there?"
But it's a shame that you had to give up all that sticker horsepower. :0)

Rep Power: 276 Yeah your car after is sic. I envy you. You did everything right. Good job, you deserve a cookie 
However, try to get the trim piece back onto the cf hood. I had to do some sanding, but I finally got mine to fit.

Rep Power: 326 Much better without all of the decals. Only thing now for the sleeper look is to powdercoat the i/c pipes and paint the i/c black.

you know that defeats the purpose right? some guy on honda-tech had 2 intercoolers and painted one black and left the other silver. the black one ran higher degree temps. dark colors attract heat more than light colors. touch a black car on a hot sunny day then touch a white one...big difference.

Rep Power: 0 i would take out the body kit, and put a lip kit, change the rims to rota slipstream 17s bronze, and take out the wing, but keep the turbo, the turbo is the only thing keeping your car from being slow
