Thanks !

Hi there. It's a Raptor hood. I went with the full kit for functional ram air with the full airbox, and heat extractors. It was about 1400 shipped.

We've had some minor fitment issues, but nothing out of the ordinary. Overall I am very pleased with it.

Thanks! I appreciate it. I plan to take her for a few runs on the 1/4 mile once we have her dyno'd and all broken in. I'll update the post when I do.

No videos yet. I work outside of the US, so I haven't even dyno'd her yet. She's been finished for over a year now, and I only have 1000 miles on the new setup. lol I may be back in the states in a two months, so if I am, I'll take some video and post it up for sure. Thanks! :-)

one of the cleanest TA's ever IMO. I like how the sail panel are painted black and those rims are PERFECT on your car. Nice motor choice as well. Get some #'s and videos when your back home safe!

How hard was the break install? I was thinking about the same setup.

Thanks! The brake install wasn't too bad at all. For these rims I had to run a 15mm spacer on the rims though. The spokes barely clear the caliper. I only have the CTSVs on the front, because if you use the rear ones you loose the Emergency break capability without getting really creative. Here's a couple links I used for reference.

car looks really good man. looks like a lot of hard work you put into that thing and it shows. my only thing would be the dump that side exhaust and throw a borla catback on it.

I hate living in Pensacola, they need to move my base closer to Tampa so I can see builds like this going on.

Definitely man! If we can be any help in any way shoot us an email. We regularly dealt with David via email and on the phone so it was pretty easy getting things done. David has a great father too that is helping him with the build also. Great father and son team there.
