=D, hopefully my engine will look as good as yours when i'm done, or at least close :p, just want simple and clean..

[AlpineS50E30]

Simple green and a pressure washer for your engine bay. you can do wonders with that stuff.
And loose the M badge on the VC. too shouty

Super fuckhead attack!

For some reason this phrasing just made me laugh.

It's very rice, and the lack of repairability makes it even worse. After all, a stock setup wouldn't have been noticeably damaged by the hit that did all that damage.

I think the valence looks kind of cheap/unfinished. Not meant to hate at all, just being honest.

Anyway, good luck on the S50 swap. I just picked up my own S50 yesterday am getting to get my swap underway. :up:

nice! good luck with your swap! =]
