I see you have a surge tank setup. Is it triple in-tank pumps routed straight to the tank, or does it use a low-pressure pump with it (is it more complex than it looks?)? Only thing I would change functionally, is that I recommend installing some bigger air filters, if you can fit them.

So are you dropping the drive train to paint the engine bay at the same time as the rest of the car? What color you going? Oh and please sand off the fake rivets and weird body line off the kit.

Fenders are on. The car's going to be more of a show car for now - there's no other kit that can beat the VeilSide Fortune design. Mixed views on the paint job - may be a full Carbon body or part Carbon, part Midnight Purple, how about that?

Most people here don't like things like the 86 piece fortune kit just so you know, and most would disagree that no other kit can beat it.

I like the kit, Although it does make the car look a little more bulky, but still looks good.

Not a big fan of the kit, but as long as you do the install and paint/body right, I'm sure you'll be very happy with it when you're done.

I don't understand how the car could be carbon. The kit is fiberglass not carbon. Do you mean some kind of fake cabon wrap or something. I like the kit in general if the rivets and funky, weird bump/body line are taken off but I hate fake carbon fiber.

Ease up a little, guys.  That Veilside, um, stuff, is a long way from my cup of tea too, but different people like different things...  And this guy is building something way different all the way around.  The only person it has to look good to is him.

TitanSC, please post more as you make progress.

See that butt ass ugly front end on my car?  Yes, it was on the car when I got it, but still I'm not enough of a hypocrite to start blasting on ricer body kits 'til I get that taken care of.  Maybe not even then.  Appearance is such a subjective thing, IE I see people who are my really good friends wearing shit that I wouldn't wear to my own closed casket funeral, but I rarely rag on them for it.  Ex: Affliction shirts.  Some people love that crap and dont care if they look like a Jersey Shore D-bag.  Besides, the Veilside Fortune thing is pretty much king of rice if that's what turns you on... If you're gonna buy some Uncle Ben's, go for broke and get the 60lb bag.

We don't hate on you for your alternative lifestyle choices.  I don't see much difference here.  :yay:

I'm not big on the kit, but I agree on the wheels. They'll have to fit perfect otherwise the kit will look terrible.

The swap looks good. I want to see finished product.
