Yeah, the Hothckis race pack. 1" (advertised) drop springs, sways, endlinks, and its chassis brace. I didn't go with the Hotchkis strut brace. I got the BMR 4 point strut brace instead... thanks man. Your ride looks freakin awesome too!

Nice, I went with the BMR strut brace also and 1.4" BMR lowering springs. Koni shocks and struts but haven't gotten to the sways, endlinks or chassis brace. I want to tighten up the handling and performance while doing cosmetic upgrades too. I do a lot of shows here in Atlanta, so Bee is more geared for the ojo's haha. I appreciate the compliments on my car, I can't go anywhere in it without people snapping photos of it. I always get asked if it will transform haha

I always want to keep my handling and steering tight! I always want the ride to feel like its riding on rails. This thing needs to go straight, and the bumps on the road don't need to drive me, I need to drive them!

So you will definitely tighten up your suspension with sways, endlinks, and a chassis brace! That chassis brace especially. That rear end of ours loves to jump around, almost like its got a life of its own. That chassis brace made incredible strides to make the car feel like its one solid piece of rock. That thing alone made a huge difference in handling.

Second, I got me a set of BMR Front end Bushings... the kit cost under 200 bucks, a pain in the ass to install taking out the stock bushings, but well worth the effort! It truly made the car feel 'like a rock'...

Ok, I will add those to the wishlist after I get it show ready. I like to drive with the nannies off some times but I don't push it too much knowing it can get stupid real quick. I bet it will help in that mode mostly huh?

Thinking about painting the hub with VHT to match the calipers. Would this not be a good idea?

I felt the same way for a year. I bought the vents a year ago, prepped and painted them and they sat in a box for a year as I was contemplating whether to cut the fenders. Once cut, you're at a point of no return. Finally decided to do it and have no regrets other than I should've done it a year ago. It'll look great with the 3D Carbon body kit you have installed.

Okay...thanks for the feedback. I'll probably feel the same way if/when I get around to it. They look great on your ride.

Thanks my friend. Had to pull it out of the garage first. It's a little dirty, haven't shown any love lately but it's still clean when it's dirty haha

Yeah... looks great! Love the two-tone vinyl on the hood too. Picture that in Carbon Fiber once you get your hood on! And the Yellow in Vinyl, to keep the same look if you want.

I like the two tone also, it's flat black on the outside and carbon fiber on the inside. That's why I wasn't looking for a hood, just wanted to added some tasteful vents. I don't think it would look right with the stripes on just the roof, trunk and wing with a new hood. Idk. I just put in for a quote to have a 3m carbon fiber vinyl Autobot decal for the hood, just to weigh other options....

Ohhhh my wife just explained this to me haha, I think you are talking about doing the rally stripes in two tone yellow on the Seibon hood?
