plastique999 · 09-06-2008, 04:15 PM

As some of you know, I had a pretty bad "off" at Buttonwillow that caved in the front of my clam and undertray...
SCC has done previous clam work on my car, so I took it back to them to have it fixed....interim, I figured I'd have them update/add some mods. Thank you Steve for being patient with me, and working tenaciously to get the car done!!!!

Mods done:

turn signal delete
fill in seams of front clam
fill in seems of rear clam
rear fins delete
front license placard delete
Gut aero wing
Gut front splitter
Exige mesh front and rear
Engine cover paint

Thanks to Paladin MotorSports for my Interior mods:

Reverie XC seat
6 point Schroth
CF console CF binnacle
Shifter Reenforcer

LQQKIN GOOD Eddie!!!

Why delete the front turn signals, do you never drive it on the street?
The Larini SE and Euro rear panel are awesome, I've always liked that look.

cus it looks freakin awesome hehe

as far as safety there are ways to have "turn signals" just not the big ugly bug eye looking ones that were on there before

akandok · 09-06-2008, 04:44 PM

Im not digging the bottom of the clam.....

Serebo1 · 09-06-2008, 04:53 PM

Joecooool · 09-06-2008, 04:57 PM

Were those engine mesh covers custom made or are they available from an after market supplier?

V-RAPTOR · 09-06-2008, 05:00 PM

Look sweet! I really like the turn signal delete!

Stormy320 · 09-06-2008, 05:01 PM

Custom made by Specialty Car Craft.

EDIT TO ADD: Using Exige OEM mesh, though all pieces modified to fit.

LordCthulu · 09-06-2008, 10:17 PM

I love the no turn signal mod, that looks cool as hell.
How did they do it? Judging from the first pic with the tape it seems like they stuck out. Did they just take em out, glass over the openings and paint?

Would it be possible to move the turn signals into the headlight assembly area thing? Or make custom signals in there? Sorry, not sure what to call it.

PatrickShim · 09-06-2008, 10:30 PM

HOLY. OH. WOW.

It looks awesome!

I will HAVE to be at the next Diamond Bar meet to check this bad boy out.
