Updated exterior color last fall, and went for a spring cruise a few weeks ago

What’s V8 Stage 3, JHM+?

A poorly worded lazy title ;D

Looks very nice! I assume stage three is what intercooler?

Still stock motor? Any drag runs? Or other fun stories or run-ins? I assume you have a full mod list somewhere here?

Ya, it’s in my signature.
Apr stage 3 TVS 1320
JHM stage 4 clutch
Jhm light weight flywheel
Jhm short throw shifter
Jhm light weight rotors
Jhm straight pipes
Renn motorsport RS51 19x9.5 wheels 21lbs
Awe non res track exhaust
Awe down pipes

I think that’s all the performance mods…haven’t
Been to a track or strip my numbers would suck
At 4500 ft above sea level, do I don’t even want to
Know them

Haha nice title. I thought for a minute that you had a vortec SCd plus built motor for 3 years. I was like “whaaaaa”

With the announcement of the new B9 Fusion5 I’ll likely be going for the JHM built motor in the future or the R6 if they produce it…

What’s B9 fusion 5?

They think the b9 looks like a Ford Fusion. I think it looks ok Honestly

So is this tuned by JHM ? Or running apr tune? I love that you have no issues in that time

What color wrap is that, and how much did it run? Looks almost like a flat, very dark gun metal?

Looks great, any more pics?

is that English?

Come on man, you understood JFunkey. LOL

Speaking of which whatever happened to JFunkey?

No it is iOS English

Plasti-dipped 2 gallons of gunmetal mixed with 1 gallon of black 4 coats of base. Then 2 gallons of Top Coat mixed with 125 grams of stormcloud grey pearls for 3 coats. Dipped it my self in my garage $550 for the dip and sprayer.

Ya, I have a few more pics, recently dipped the side mirrors black as well.

Both ;D. Me too! Car is bullet proof, impressive work done by Audi, JHM and APR!

Looks great! Would love to see some other pics, impressive! How long did it take?

What was most challenging about the process?
