Finally joined the FMIC club... and still wearing the grills... :)
Sad thing is it took less than a half-hour to remove the old IC but 4 hours to fabricate in the new FMIC... I love my Saturdays!
I know, she's a bit rough looking, it's what you get buying a one owner (who didn't give a rats a$$ about the car) w/ currently 194K and living in the salt belt. New paint is in order for next spring... any suggestions on color??

Nice work!
Good to see the lower grilles retained. Makes it look a little more "finished", IMO.
How much are you going to paint? If you're going whole hog and getting the thing sprayed, how about Europa Blue?

Hmm, Blue...? I was thinking....
Well, I'm not going to drop 10K for a complete door jam, underhood, engine bay, trunk inner lid spray to make Europa Blue look right. Even though it is one of my favorite colors...
I think I'll stay w/ good ol green. Even though the new Clubsport TT color is nice.

No, from here:
I got (2x) 90degree 2.5" elbows, (2x) 45degree 2.5" elbows, all the silicone hump couplers, straight couplers, and T-bolts for everything from these guys.
I should have gotten one more 90, as I had to sacrifice the inlet of my metal crossover pipe to make it all work.<ul><li><a href="http://stores.ebay.com/VECCO-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-INC">http://stores.ebay.com/VECCO-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-INC</a</li></ul>

I was looking at the same one, the only thing that i don't like too much is the endtank design....
it's not utilizing the whole intercooler...let me know how it runs.... im thinking of upgrading soon as well.
