Finally got the ALP system installed and professionally tested with 11 current production laser guns. Here are some photos. The system is incredible. I'm using the blu-tooth module so it has an app and actually tells you the type of gun you're being hit with. Also, I'm going to clean up some of the excess epoxy on the bow-tie.

1LT deck lid swapped and black blade spoiler installed...matches the front splitter nicely

Next on the list: Expel being applied to the front end this Friday

Also, I should have my Forgeline VX1's in black chrome w/MPSS's in a couple of weeks.

Got my Xpel applied to my front end on Friday and mounted my ALP rear sensors on brackets, closer to my rear plate yesterday...perfectly level and no more rear punch-through

Also got my Forza controller, Max360 detector and hard-wire kit for it. Debating on whether I should grab front/rear dash cam. Will get all of those professionally installed together.

Very nice build! Love the direction you are going with it. Have you brought it/plan to bring it to the strip?

Nice build! Do you know your net weight gain, can you feel the weight difference in the way it handles?

Thanks guys. Probably not the drag strip. Who knows, maybe some day I will. I drive it on a lot of farm roads on the weekends and I really don't notice much of a difference. I'm sure I've added some weight, but I really don't notice it with all the extra power. I can tell you for sure that I'm still able to carve up the same tight roads the same way that I was driving before. Next week my Forgeline's will be in and with the PSS tires, I'll be doing much better than I am know

Great build and write up, beautiful car.

I would DEFINITELY get a front/rear cam. I now have a cam in every vehicle I own and wish I had them in 9 months ago.

I was in a car accident last year where a 17 year old ran a red light and t-boned me at around 45mph. She said I ran the red light I said she did, I have a independent 3rd party witness that said she did and still 9 months later it looks like it's going to go to court. If I had had a camera i could have presented the video and it would have been case closed, now even if/when I get awarded judgement the lawyers are going to get 33-40% of everything. Lost a $10k vehicle (without collision) will likely get $6k to replace it.

Here are the latest updates to my build:

- Installed K&N air filter, increasing boost to 7psi (6.919) with the stock pulley.

- Added the Forza exhaust controller. Exhaust is now wide open all the time or in Stealth mode. Mapped Forza key fob buttons to my 2 available Homelink buttons. Forza is mounted with a custom bracket.

- Reinstalled my rear ALP sensors using with new brackets. They're perfectly level now and closer together. Took all afternoon to get it perfect, but no more punch through

- Hardwired Escort Max360 to BCM.

- Installed C7 Pro Clip phone mount onto my stock driver's side knee pad. Using Dash Command app w/BT1 OBDII bluetooth plug-in to monitor performance. Also running ALP bluetooth app, Escort Live, and Waze for counter-measures.

- Expel added to my front-end.

- Forgeline VX1's (monoblock) in Black PVD finish 20x10 (27mm off-set), 20x11 (43mm off-set). Finish is incredible...they look like black chrome in the bright light and satin black in the shade.

- Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires 285/30/ZR20 (front), 305/30/ZR20 (back)

- Titanium lugs

And some updated pics....







Coming soon....Bigwormgraphix Laminex on tail lights and markers, powder coated rear calipers to match LPO 6 pistons

Full bigworm kit done. Also found some matching Laminex pieces no one wanted and finished them up real nice for free. Those big wide open, flat red areas on the sides are completed covered now.

Thanks. Tomorrow I'm getting a host of BMR suspension upgrades and will post some shots once everything is installed, as well as the results. Reason for the mods is that I'm getting a some wheel hop due to the lighter wheels and wider, stickier tires.
Hopefully I'll have some good news to report tomorrow

Sure - I'm pretty sure this is it unless my shop added something I missed:

trailing arms, bushings, upper control arms and toe links
