Haven't posted in a while. This was test fitting the Wald fenders and the Black Pearl 2013+ front end. This was using the 2007 front brackets etc. I will need to replace the radiator bracket and misc. brackets to make the conversion fit better.

2013+ hood fitment.

The HKS supercharger came in a few months back but haven't had the time to install it. All work was done by me and my good friend Carlin over at Impact Performance in San Mateo.  

A few new pulleys and brackets.

Cleaned up some of the wiring that needs to be tucked under the supercharger.

The supercharger in with all the belts and pulleys and just need to do all the pipings.

Since we are installing the supercharger, it was a good time to replace all the front brackets for the conversion.  

Before front brackets and supercharger.

After with the new conversion support brackets and supercharger installed.

Got the intercooler in and added a 2013+ crash bar to the front. Now onto all the pipings.

All the pipings were done late last night and just need to tie up a few loose end and I can start the car and get it off the lift. Hopefully later this week.

A current picture of the supercharger and a few upgrade to make it look more presentable.

Testing the LS600 headlights for fitment and function since we had to run a plug and play cable. Everything function correctly along with the turn signals.

A overview of the front end with the intercooler in along with the Black Pearl F-Sport lip kit that was molded.

Not much of an update but here is some minor engine bling... I don't like how the coolant bottle didn't flow with the rest of the HKS upgrade, so I had a friend make a cover and cap out of stainless steel to flow with everything else.

It's been a long weekend working on this project. Car came out of paint and we started installing the new BBK and test fit the new VIP Modular wheels, These wheels and BBK been sitting on the shelf since April. Got all the windows and trims back on. Still got the full interior to put back together as well as the sunroof and headliner. Everything should be done by this Friday.
