#149291 Looks like a good base. You have some good plans for it to. I would recommend a b16 tranny for your LSvtec if your planning on staying, N/A. It will give you the best acceleration for the readily available B Series Transmissions.

I would also recommend spray painting your front bumper and the grey cut out brace. Even if you use cheap spray paint, It will make it look so much better being black.

You have cutout holes in your back bumper to reduce drag. Unless there is a rear diffuser under the rear of the car we cant see in yout pictures, Then it doesn't look like you have diffuser.

Image This is a Carbon Fiber Diffuser, It molds the air straight out and up so it will suck the rear end of the car down for better traction and keep it stable at high speeds.

Thanks for the comment yeah i will be going with a b16 tranny for sure had one on my old LS-v setup in my hatch but im looking to take this build to the next level, as for the front bumper the cars getting all repainted once the body work and engine bay are done car wont see the streets untill next year when winter is over.

#149363 Car is nice man but that rear bumper with the cut out and plate just makes it look sloppy. I would recommend getting a real diffuser and you may be able to fit the HOP rear diffuser for an eg. here is the link if your interested.

Im taking the golden eagle diffuser off the car and switching it over with a carbon one to match the hood and trunk once the cars painted.
