This page is for the aesthetic modification progress on my car.

I got a new shifter knob for the beast. I think it looks nice. It is made by Kartboy and is called the Knuckleball.

I just did what is called the RA-R Grill Mod. I took off the front center part of my grill and applied a 1/4 inch strip of red vinyl pinstripe.

5/14/07 Today I cleared and painted the headlights. I painted the housing a flat black and I replaced the stock orange bulbs with silver bulbs that flash orange...

I painted all of the fluid caps in my engine bay to make it go along with theme...

I ordered some hood dampers for my engine bay to get rid of that damn hood prop bar. I definitely recommend this mod to anyone doing any engine modifications to their cars.

I made a new mod that I have lovingly called the "Branemaniac Baller Grill". I think it sets my car off.

I bought some Rota Attack Rims in Bronze from a local buddy of mine, and they look great!

I made a custom support strap system for an "Emergency Pack" in my trunk. It is synched down nicely, so it doesn't move under hard cornering.

I installed an OEM STI rear diffuser to my Rex, attaching it to factory mounting points and my Cusco Rear Subframe Brace.

no, i have a stock turbo, i have it tuned to 18 psi at 1500 rpm's. I have a 65mm aps cold air intake, full cobb 3" turbo back exhaust with a high flow cat. I have a stage 1 flash, stage 2 flash with my cobb access port with a custom stage 3 flash done at xxtuning in Hartford CT. they hooked up my car to the dyno, we did a full 10 pulls on the dyno, and then we went out and road tuned it and it runs fantastic. according to my print outs, i have 297 whp and a little more than 390 wheel torque. I have just over 48,000 miles and I still have the stock tires. They still have maybe 20 % tread left but I'm planning on getting new tires before the snow this fall. Have any suggestions for tires? I want something with good summer performance but still a tire that can drive in snow bc i still have stock rims.
