UNDER the RADAR <-> PICS / VIDS

[BrineSI]

Hey guys, well I'm pretty close to calling my SI done. I wanted to keep the exterior simple and clean and try to enhance more than change. Performance wise, I live in socal and didn't want to be hassled with cops trying to nab me for a RH etc. so also wanted to keep my performance bits a little under wraps (Xintake passes CA visual inspection, WS2 exhaust with canister painted black in order to look stock, Ninjacat, nothing done to dress up the engine bay and call attention to it other than lots of cleaning). So, I think the two worlds sort of met and I can say I'm about 97% done other than hopefully a DIY cowl induction system or heat shield of some sort for my xintake...

Thanks a lot guys! Yes, they do change because I'm... under the radar. But seriously I just clone stamped each one in PS, didn't pay attention to what my fake plate was going to be, just did it diff each time but didn't want to blur or swirl my plate number because IMO, it's a little distracting to pics when you see that... so here's the tally so far:

#07 - 1
#16 - 2
#17 - 1
#18 - 2
#19 - 1

[KSE]

thats so true. I just posted pics of my car w/ blank plates and I hate it lol. Good pics too btw
