That's just half the stuff Franz works on ! He's like a one man army that knows how to build a car from the ground up..

Were you going to put some kind of screen over that intercooler to keep the bugs and rocks out of it? I don't drive the car that much but will see maybe something up front will help from all the rocks and bugs. How much was that AIM dash, and how do you plan to install that in the car? i got it fro...
