Not much new I got my valve cover a few weeks ago it looks really nice. I am picking up a set of 5zigen 5zr's off of a friend for $150. And I am going to pull the motor once it gets nicer out and hopefully get started on this project.

Here are the rims...




Here is the valve cover and oil cap.





I took the wing off of the talon to see what she looked like and I like it a lot better w/o the wing but I had to put it back on because the holes but I will take it off once I have something to plug the holes with.





I also painted the white stuff black. I think it looks better then white....

yes I agree...how ever the white trim was adding at least 50 HP laugh.gif
Dakota_DSM
Yeah and once I get around to taking off the decal it's going to lose 5hp more. blink.gif

Well I decided not to buy the rims... My stock rim's are being powder coated one at a time... I should have the first one back tomorrow they will be high gloss black w/silver lip. I haven't really done much to her because it has been so cold. But I pulled the trunk carpet and had it shampooed. I installed my carbon fiber rear strut tower bar, and my carbon fiber gauge cluster. And as soon as the weather gets nice enough me and some friends are going to pull the motor. I am still trying to get a damn job so I can buy a 6bolt but I haven't had any luck with that...
