Just finished my subwoofer install so I thought now was a good time to put it in this section. I also did a photo shoot for Hot Fours/Fast Fours today so it seemed like a good opportunity to take some of my own photos. Hope you like it. I know a few wont :lol:

Damn, where's my cardigan when I need it. Looks great Ben. I'm liking the wheels. How long have you had them?

Keep up the good work.

Top effort Ben.
Great example of this style of mods especially since the car is also well used and not just a trailer queen.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I know that a lot of people on here don't like the way that I have gone, so I appreciate those that have said so and still appeciate aspects of it or the hard work that has gone into it.

Juffa - I can always rely on you lol. The wheels have been on for about a month or 2 now. I think they really suit but now I want to change other things on the car to suit

Stu - \"whats next\"? where do I start. Lets just say that it is getting made darker and meaner lol

MXHEVN - I had a look at the bomex site and my mirrors don't look like anything currently on sale. Wether they are discontinued or not I don't know. I got them from Blue94T who had a Jap import he was wrecking. Thanks Jake. The photoshoot was done by a photographer that does both then he shows it to them and they decide which mag it is going into. I have since found out that it will be going into Hot4's. Probably still 3-4 months away yet

Shyt you have done a lot mods, now i know why you have a few spares lying around, and I love the racing stripes. Your car is definitely looking the goods. Can't wait to get mine rego'ed, maybe we can go for blast up mt dandenong to see how the different turbo set-ups perform. And congratultions on getting it into a mag. Well done.
