Looks tremendously better with the !wire mod. Paint the front bumper cover support now, its really faded and stands out like a sore thumb, just a nice black color will do the trick.

Whats the deal with the STL Speednet, is that a sticker or what?

+1 for painting the bumper support and u may want to consider removing the washer fluid resivior it looks way better with it removed or painted (if u use it paint it if u dont take that thing out)

I also want to know if you removed the emissions sticker or what the deal is with the St. Louis sticker. The !wire looks good and makes me want to do it. Are you planning on picking up any grommets to fill the holes?

I just sold FRC's i didnt really like them. Coil pack relocation...maybe. I would make one myself someday.
Stl-speed.net is a sticker, its mostly my friends. I figured i would represent with out putting anyhting on the outside of me car...There are osme pretty quick cars, not much tech talk, mostly a bunch of BSing
Washer reservoir...i have to keep it, i drive it 700 mile a week in ALL weather condtions...therfore i use it quite frequently.
The bumper support, i might paint that this weekend if i can get around to it.
I did remove the emissions sticker. I have a book ov tech guides i have printed, and a receipt for every part i have purchased for the car in a 3 ring binder, so i threw it in there...
Also i will do the hood release, but it was 94 degrees and the car was hot whne i did all of this, so i said screw it for the day.
