No carpet, no top, CF hood, fiberglass seats, no airbags, headers, Borla muffler, Bypass pipes, LW wheels, no rear spoiler or mechanism, fiberglass trunk, no front or rear trunk carpet, Honda battery, no hood/ trunk latches, no A/C, lwfw, ....and less.
You need to give me a ride in this beast, are you registered for the PCA auto X at South Side. I looked at pictures from last year and I thought I saw a car that looked like yours. Where did you get the fiberglass trunk? Also I like the "and less.." tag, nice touch
