I thought about it, but everyone that I have seen you can see the edge of the bra and in certain lights your paint color looks odd.

We will see... I have only tried to get the car on the trailer with both front and rear bumpers off, so this might be a challenge.

Nate I am 95% sure Greg does vinyl in clear like some OE (lexus) cars are equipped with. I remember discussing it when he had his IS.

Either that or just tape it, just wanted to throw that out their tho.

I meant a leather one. I muzzle my SRT on long trips and remove it once I get there. Looks like Hannibal Lector but it's worth it.

I had to cut it and trim it to get it to fit right with the splitter and it's posts but it's well worth it for the protection it offers :)

I was just posting it to show the Hannibal look it gives and the protection it provides. Hell you could probably buy the SRT one and just stitch the nostril pieces closed and it would work for your bumper.

$60 top (hood piece which isn't on in that shot) and bottom. But if you stitched the nostril portion closed I bet it would fit. I got it back in 05 from autotrucktoys.com

Ordered a Manual Boost Controler last night off of egay, so we will see how that goes. I'm not sure if I will make it either to the show, we will see, I was just notified of a death in the family and I might have to fly up to Michigan towards the end of the week....

Well, I"m slowly cranking on the car... Tore my interior out again. Doing some re-wireing and figuring out the MBC. It didn't come with directions, so I"m playing it safe and doing research. I"ll put up some pics later on today maybe

Well I tried out my new camera tonight on the progress on the car.

Teardown of the car....
Image
Image

Re-wiring the LED's and lighting under the dash, so I had to re-route some wiring with new wire and quick conects.

Image
Image
I figured the Molex connectors would work.
Image

Now I need to replace my timer with one that actually works..
Image

and something to up the boost a bit... but not too much..

Ugh, so clean, no rust, not fair! lol.

How did the trip to MI go?

I'm going to try and make it to that show. If the GF gets the day off, we'll probably take her car, but if not, it'll be me n' mine.

Chad. well the car doesn't get driven much anymore... so I save it from rust...

Trip to MI went well, met some of my Dad's fam that I haven't seen in 12 years...

That would be awesome if you make it. Let me know, I still think i'm trailering it to S.A. for the show, but we will see..
