            This thing looks beastly. I hope someday I will be able to see it in person......someday

                i really think the IC would look bad in black. I think it'd just be sooo much black. I think that the silver IC, the chrome kidneys and the remaining chrome in the lights make it just right. They match the SS bolts on the flares and my polished lips...

                I suppose I could polish the tanks, but not now...

                May be laid up for a bit tho... I dislocated my shoulder trying a rodeoflip over a big hip last night. I'm hurtin pretty good right now...

                    Is your front bumper twisted up in the middle?

                        yeah, just a little. that's why it's kinda tweaked at the sides... the IC is JAMMED behind it...

                            Can you trim the valence between the shock mounts to sink the IC in a bit further? The bend is botherin' me, but it may just be exaggerated in the photo and from me seeing a non-bent-upward one several times a day.

                                The IC can't go in any more because the radiator is in the way... It's all packed in as tightly as I can get it, without the IC busting through the front of the bumper as well. It's not really THAT noticeable... well, it's certainly not the first thing I notice...

                                    Well, if it doesn't bother you..

                                    Is the valence waggly with the missing middle bit?

                                    What's left until you tune it and get revved at by every single hondaboy in Buffalo?

                                        oh no, there is nothing on the bodywork that is "waggly".

                                        I actually have more reinforcement on my bodywork than stock. NOTHING is worse than floppy aero. There are taps welded all over the car that allow me to put in extra bolts into the valences and side skirts. :)

                                        I'd say another couple weeks and she'll be on the dyno...

                                                        The color looks so much better in those pics with some natural light on them. I still wouldn't paint my car that color but I can appreciate that you did a lot more. :)
