well a good way to fix the back and make it look complete is the camaro rear lip like what h-type has.

But beautiful car tho man!

I'll get some for you guys when its outside. Right now its in the garage and like I said I still have lots of polishing to do. You'll get them, no worries.

Actually, the back needs nothing. The point of the kit is not to make it look lower, but to make it look more "powerful" which it does. It flows forward not down and makes the car look sharper at the front then it was before. Adding a rear lip does finish it per say, but then the car is just lower to the ground and the attention point of the front and sides of the car is lost to a rear that wasn't made for it anyways. My attention pieces are what I have and I'd like them to remain the exterior focus. Trust me, I've thought about it, but I definitely wont be doing a rear anything.

Well actually I'm doing some ZE bits next year. With recent help from blaster3500 on here, I know now what I'm looking for which includes manifold and throttle body. The throttle body I am having bored out to about 65mm though to match the ZE intake size. Oh, and a little powder coating.

As for the whole engine, well I want to but I want to get something I know will last. The whole valve issue worries me, so I'm actually looking at a 3.0L SHO engine and transmission. Going to do some measuring this winter, but a friend of mine does custom motor swaps all the time, so this would be nothing for him to do. That and the motors are relatively cheap and extremely bullet proof.

Thanks again for all the comments guys. Sorry it took so long to get back, but I've just been sitting in the garage all day staring at it! Hahah.

Now I'm off to pick up some final show bits...

the sho motor is a GREAT engine. however it requires lots of ON SCHEDULE and expensive mainten. like valve shims. i've had three sho's and would love another. also,the tranny...its mazda sourced...need i say more???

i honstly haven't been all giddy going into a thread in a long time, i honestly was grinning ear to ear and telling cindy how excited i was. She looked at me like i'm a weirdo. Looks amazing bro, and has been a long time coming. Seriously bro, i feel like i went through it too, but for free, and with no payoff...

Yeah it's sooo amazing.

**Kansas** · 9-26-07, 21:18

it is also my background now, i am seriously in awe for some reason. i can't stop looking at it. Maybe it's the rarity, or the good looks, or just the whole damn package, but i can not stop. Wow...

**neptune_51** · 9-26-07, 21:25

mmmm thats sex right there!

I want the MS kit now! If you did jspecs (i know you won't) it would be the cleanest six evAr!1!1!!

**Tristan** · 9-26-07, 21:39

that is one beautiful car, very envious. everything flows nicely. jspecs might be nice, but the current lights look just fine. job WELL done

**tchnprgrmr** · 9-26-07, 22:14

looks amazing!!!! e-specs and some darker tint would make it look even more amazing. Even if you don't change a thing, the car looks great.

Well thats sort of how I felt for the longest time. I felt bad not having them done, like I was depriving the MX6.com community of this rare opportunity. I knew I would get it done but it was just so hard to throw the money away on it. Finally I just said screw it and I'm glad I did. Worth every penny.

Thanks. Aren't you guys happy I replaced and refinished my headlights? Well I only replaced one, but bet you can't tell which one! I'm very happy with the look it has now.

**I4MX6** · 9-26-07, 22:39

Here's the best pic I could get of the back end for the time being.

Oh and like that little addition?

**Car-InsanE** · 9-26-07, 22:57
