To be honest I dont like the color, don't like the wheels at all, and stickers ruin it for me, i do like the cage and everything else... Diffuser is neutral to me.. I def hate the concept of V-mount - i think its stupid on any car, especially a DD.. Every degree you angle your rad, its air free flow and fin heat dispersion is compromised more and more, fins on rads and intercoolers are designed to have airflow pass through freely on a level basis, else you need some nice fans to do the job for you.. eventually at some degree the fins will work against you and block flow.. Plus the sad thing is most people do it for looks.. I like my fan shutting off at speeds above 40mph

What is this cooler cooling? Fuel? Oil? PS fluid?

kind of a long way for a PS cooler. fuel or maybe diff fluid cooler at most

this car is an excellent example of what i like to refer to as the "jurassic park" method of tuning/building.

you did it because you could, but never stopped to consider whether or not you should.

Definitely gonna need ducting to the IC. It'll give you a huge boost in efficiency. As for the diffuser, unless you've got the underbody covered, it's doing fuckall as far as downforce is concerned. Also, the way it terminates at a sharp angle like that might cause a lot of eddies in the flow which also reduces efficiency.

car looks good but I would redo the paint on the wheels
