Talking Snapped some photos with a crappy Samsung :)

Finally got the requested photos up Right before it rained too

The engine bay is dirty because I'm not very meticulous about keeping it clean

I'm always changing my set-up so the engine bay has a constant haze of dirt

HID low-beams and fogs; gonna order the high-beams once I find out what kind of bulb it is.

I'll get around to doing 4-points sooner or later

I'm getting a set of BFG 315's because my Nitto's are bald and haven't provided any traction.

Last year my mechanic went a little over-board on the red tubing but the steering wheel was the requested photo

Here's a list of most of the mods:

Not feeling the interior, especially the steering wheel , I would have never done what you did on a Firehawk.

Airbags? Who needs them. In case of a crash, just unplug the steering wheel so you can impale your face on the shaft to make sure you're dead and don't become a Veggie.

I know GM Steering wheels are sinfully ugly, but good god, why take out the airbag, the one thing that can save your ***!?

damn... i mean I dig the firehawk.


but you kinda riced that thing out with that interior detailing.


I'd almost PREFER all stock interior ****, other than stereo system. air bags is one.. and seat controls 2. steering wheel controls 3.. all things I really like in my car.

Correction: Wire loom other than stock color is for Honda.s

Black wire loom under the hood is the win if you're cleaning up wires, hiding amp wires, alarm wires, etc.

Under the hood is nasty, and the interior is nasty. Don't dig the car except for exterior.
