Looks great! Although IMO perhaps a touch too low (blasphemy :P ) I think you need a roll bar now to complete the look you have, seriously hot car!

Sliq, any tips on removing the old tow hooks from the front? I had a look at mine but it looks like I will have to remove the whole front bumper (its an NB8A though, so maybe different)

you will need the correct socket and a BREAKER BAR and plenty of elbow grease (silvermiata gave me a hand and he's got more beefcake than me).... for a couple of the bolts, they were too hard to get off, even after soaking them with WD-40. i took it to my local mechanic and he removed them for like $10, and it only took the time for him to jack the car up, crawl underneath and use his ratchet gun to get them out.. i'm guessing you can probably take them to your local mechanic and have them all removed for $10 :D , OR if you have a ratchet gun, that would make life very easy

That's odd. Mine came off with a socket set and practically zero effort. I was surprised as being a massive 60kgs bolts are often stronger then I...

less is more.

i have deleted something from my car, and have placed something in lieu of it. first one who picks it gets a hi 5.
i decided to go for a minimalist approach to my car.. have it looking more "track-ready" street car.
apologies for not cleaning her up; i drove up to the hunter over the weekend and it was extraordinarily dusty up there!

i also had my hard top lying around for a while, but was never fudged to get it out and whack her on. i think mischa now looks complete. thanks to lightyear for the catches 8)
