Ok, so they're not Lumina Z34 vents... damn. They're Trans Am vents... LOL...

Cleaned up my engine bay a little bit

Dressed up the vac canister with some Jun Kitami Tuner Beer. Photo courtesy of MoltoMario.

I ordered this panel and didn't look closely enough at the listing, it's a huge 12k twill LOL... oh well... I didn't have time to order another one before the Vegas meet. Looks almost like carbon fiber diamond plate... good thing I didn't rivet it in, it would fall out when I hit 140MPH.

Oh yeah, beads from girls on Fremont St in Vegas FTW.

So I got my hands on a DSLR finally... sorta... borrowed from my mom haha. It's just a Nikon D5000 with the kit lens. I'd have gotten a Canon myself, but this is still better than my modified firmware point and shoots haha.

Maybe when I figure out how to set it up, I'll get some better pics... and dry the car off first... and buff the paint... and wait for better lighting... ha.

Niiice! Bonnet vents look good Robert, adds to the mean badboy appearance. There was something I read on GalantVR4 recently about how this guy complained that his vents let water through the bonnet and onto his engine and that he wasted $350 on them or something...

to complete enthuzed's post, do you have that problem? I've seen a car that had vents close to the strut towers, and the car had rust all over the strut towers

They are fully open and let water right into the engine bay. They're just about in front of the valve cover. I've driven it when it was pouring rain many times and haven't had a problem. Maybe if I was near the ocean with the salty air, I'd see rust but there's none now.

Very nice pics, Robert :beer

How low is the car? Also, did you mod the panels to accommodate?

Komeuppance · Post by **Komeuppance** » Sat Nov 27, 2010 10:33 pm

There's much less post processing in these pics than my others, they were taken to be HDR processed. A few have complained, but you can't please everyone, glad you guys like em because I do as well. Thanks!!

That's the front frame rail. That's about 64mm. You can see my tucked 3" exhaust has a flat spot on the flange, haha.

The fenders, guards, were rolled and pulled a bit. The fronts are actually my second set of fenders, which I recently painted and put on. There's no way to ride this low without modified fenders. Well, maybe if you drive it like a grandma... but I certainly don't.

Very very nice :beer
Are you running just the 1 exhaust now?

Komeuppance · Post by **Komeuppance** » Mon May 16, 2011 10:05 pm

Thanks. All the lighting you see was only by my cell phone led in flashlight mode.

Nah, the exhaust is the same still. I modified my ebay muffler to a 3" inlet haha.

This would have to be one of my fav wideys for sure.
Only thing I would change would be the corner pieces about the front bumper to ditch the reflective strips to give it that full black look.
Although not to sure about your laws over there, might need them?
