When I saw the frame painted it was amazing the pics don't show how beautiful this color really is...Stay tuned

The roof is painted no overlay

Mind if I ask how much that paint job is running? I've heard that my pearl white QAB is like $7k-$8k to paint the whole car.

These guys do it the right way as you can see they strip the car entirely. For body kit install, Paint, exhaust, fixing dent in drivers side door (I went in only to fix door and it turned into a full project

) I only paid $6700 for everything. So I am guessing the paint was about $5000. They did a lot of body work Amuse rear, evor-r sides, Shine Front lip, Fly 1 vented fenders, and the GT Wing. So I feel I got a great deal.

They would have gave me a full candy paint job for 7k...

I just spoke to Rob at Z Car garage and he has a Used Stillen Supercharger that fits my budget! He said its a solid supercharger with the proper tune. I don't need a ton off boost just enough to keep the suckas from getting to close to my bumper

Zbrah · 08-15-2013, 04:40 PM

Looking good Bro! Them fenders are

Ok I just also requested the GTM stage 2 supercharger quote as well. I know its going to be a lot more than the used Stillen quote but I can't imagine paying 5k for the used still installed and only getting 380hp

I may spend the extra $2500 and get least 500

! My car is to pretty not to be mean, and for Godsakes its a dragon! #Kahlessi

Supercharger build on deck!

The GTM kit would be my recommendation for you. I've never heard anybody say they love their stillen SC, they always give people trouble. The design wasn't really that great. One of the problems is that the Mafs are in the wrong spot where they get a lot of turbulence and start going on the fritz. My buddy has one and for a while his car would surge forward, then go I to limp mode for 2-3 seconds, the surge again and back into limp mode. He had to build a custom aluminum airfoil to redirect the air away from the Mafs. Then he had to replace some of the cogs cause they just sucked. All that for not much power? GTM is rock solid performance guaranteed. I'd say she'll out the extra dough if you have it and get the good stuff. If you want more info on the stillen kit, message Osiris here on the forum and he can answer your questions.

I agree Huck that is why I asked for the GTM quote I just hear its not carb approved so I have to find out that means is far as getting my car through emissions.
