Car and heat shield look good... not sure about the second heat shield lighting up though

[Garry]

yeah, the blue looks a bit gay, get a rice car for that!!

other then that, good stuff, like the work!!

[Pat]

Looks Great!! Good job!! As long as there is more power involved.

nice job on the shield !

but wtf is that 'thing' with the blue glow

[B.M.DUB]

Well, regardless of what everybody else thinks, I kind of like the blue glow. It does look a little out-of-place with the rest of the engine looking so stock, but it doesn't look bad.

I really like it, i like it soooo much i might just rob the idea!!
Dont worry though, i wont be robbing your blue light idea though.

Did you notice much of a difference performance wise, just curios?
