Thanks for the heads up. If I get a defenderworx one, it will be black and I won't need to plasti dip it

Yea that's the problem I ran into, they were out of the black Autobot ones so I had to go with the chrome and dip it.......

I like it. But I would get solid black and put a big yellow SS on it. JMHO

That would be the touch to go with...
Started to outline mine that way but didn't get around to it through all the mods...

went from this




to this

Ummmm.. that looks like a fairly MAJOR upgrade! Supercharger? It's got a LOT of extra widgets and thingamajigs on it.

What is the main difference? Low end.. high end or all the ends and the middle? Seems like a lot of power to add to a powerful engine. Do you need to be careful? I mean, like is it touchy? Does it suck more gas (I know a lot of mods actually make the engine more fuel efficent).

Anyway... looks badd ass.

Its only making about 500 whp 485 ft lbs so it is very controllable, running at 9psi. If I end up doing axles and meth then I may run at a higher psi and get a lot more out of it but happy with it for now. It is a pretty consistent gain in hp and torque across the entire curve. Very usable down low, can lose traction in the high rpm range running on basically the stock pirellis but in a 315.

What kit is that? Been eyeballing the Turbonetics...

That is the ECS kit, I ended up going supercharger rather than turbo. Went back and forth but was looking for somewhat modest gains and have never heard anything bad about ECS.

Interesting that they didn't offer the complete set (STAGE 3) though. This includes the endlinks and strut bar.



I pieced mine together but ended up with all of the above except the strut bar (as mentioned, went with BMR). I am very happy with the results.

Well, the Stage 3 is $1500 and I already have a factory strut brace. My kit came in about $1100 so a little more palatable.

It went well after the new grinder.

End result:

Looking good! Nice rims, and definitely looks best when they are flush with the quarter panels!

So fun to watch everyone's car change after every mod! (rims make a big difference)
