Looks good. I always wanted to try one of those pods or the 3 pod one for the middle of the dash but didn't get a chance to before I got rid of the car. That was the boost gauge I was planning on going with too.

Painted the valve cover this weekend while Josh painted his wheels. This was a color test for what my wheels would be should I paint them this color. I kind of like it, but I need to play with the tone a bit before committing it to the wheels.

Oh, and now I need a front mount intercooler :)

Yesterday I received and installed my CNT catback exhaust. It's decently throaty, and just sitting there is relatively quiet. Under load, though, she just plain sounds mean. I love it.

Yeah, I have had much difficulty finding a shade that I like well enough to put on the wheels. I probably won't be doing that for a while.

Tune is good, though. Did 6 MAF calibration revisions, and I am within +/- 0.5% on my trims, so the tedious part is done.

Picked up (and subsequently installed) a CP-e top mount intercooler today, courtesy of the guys over at www.edgeautosport.com. Pretty big core. I'm excited to see the improvements in performance.

New catted downpipe going in today. It's CNT, so should be perfect match with my exhaust.

Since I can't have a white MS3, I'm glad to see you do such cool shit with yours. Now get PMM/TMM motor mounts.

You're now modded almost exactly the same as mine was. Different brands on a couple things and my DP was catless. Enjoy smoking F-bodies on the highway. :D
