Default Custom Corbeau LG1s, New FMIC, etc (Pics!)

So I've been a bit busy with the car recently. I finished up the Procharger twin intercoolers to single FMIC setup. It's performing very well so far and I can't wait to get it to the track in a little over a month. I can probably find a way to get my custom halo foglights back in but for now, I'm liking the FMIC look. The front bumper had some stone chips and such which really bothered me so I had it repainted as well. I also installed a set of Corbeau LG1 seats which were custom upholstered to match the existing interior color. The centers use perforated leather to give some of the OEM look. These fit me like a glove and are so much more supportive than the stock seats. I was rushing to snap some pics before the sun went down.

How well does the FMIC cool? Looks like it's blocked quite a bit.

Seems fine so far. I was concerned about air flow but it sits pretty far back. IATs are roughly 10 deg F above ambient cruising around which was the same with the procharger twins. Biggest difference was the air temp during and after a solid power pull. I only saw a 20 deg rise whereas it was a solid 50 with the old setup. I run meth as well so I'm more looking for system efficiency. I haven't seen a cutout style for more airflow that I like so I will see how this works for now.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The seats were around $1k to get completely redone.

Corbeau LG1s. Sat in the car for a few hours cruising last weekend and man are they comfy but supportive.
