thats pretty sweet. He could have mounted that alot better than what he did, just beacuse of that this is a ghetto setup.

I loved the grill idea. lol

He could have done a better job with the install but it's crazy none-the-less.

Thumbs up for a home project that doesn't end up with a car burnt to the ground.

Agreed! He deffinitly had some brains behind it! Mounting spot could have been alittle better thought out, Welds on the other hand ya he probably should have practiced alittle! or just called me:spin:

And wtf is that a stick on super charger bonnet? :banghead:

We passed this on the way back from the Lake cruise.... I was passing some cars and it was coming right at me. I almost lol'd myself off the road.

What was better was that silverwrx666 had been telling us about it the friday before at the WYW meet.

Dude, this guy had bumper stickers all over his car and did you notice that rod on his roof? Apparently that's a functioning musket!

+1. So it's a bit ugly work but it work right? There is a kit though... And I like how they didn't even take a moment to verify year of the vehicle. Has anyone talked to the guy about joining? I mean weird or not it worked so maybe he's planning on doing a cleaned up version for a second try? I know there may be a supercharger build in the works on my budy's L he just got that we are first putting a RS motor in.(Trying to talk him into joining.) Maybe teh guy has some info to share that could help a lot of others here in some way. You find the darnedest things out sometimes from random sources.
