I will post up some close up pics of the steering wheel after installing the new Y-trim and close up of the wider tires.

I will also be posting some teaser pics of the new updates to come until they get installed. Once I get all these mods put on I will be doing a photo shoot with WYTE studios again and will post up the full reviews at that time including before and after GoPro shots of the rear and front of the car to get an idea of what the exhaust and engine bay sound like after the changes. Some of the new mods that will be put on in the next few weeks are not all apart of the planned mods so check back soon.

So I finally had the time to get a dyno in a couple weeks ago and finally got my laptop running to upload new pics. Im happy with the results that I got with just the akrapovic exhaust unfortunately I never did a base line dyno to compare so i guess this will have to be my base line for the future dyno runs.

My car is now back in the shop at BenzWorks getting its seconds stage of mods done. Got a few teaser pics to give you an idea of whats going in the beast. New dyno run will be done as soon as the stock ecu adapts to the changes and a tune will be applied as soon as I've completed the full list of mods hopefully by the end of this month or next.

Ya the carbon fiber weave is exactly the same so it fits perfectly with the car and looks almost factory. Probably one of my favorite mods out of everything thats been installed so far.
