Shamu 2.0: Simple & Clean - Mode Carbon

I picked up my car back in 2009 and told myself to keep it stock, after a week owning the car the bug mod bit me and i gave SonicMS a call. The car ended up from this


and after SonicMS did their magic



I tried to convince myself i didn't need anything else for the car but got bored of it and wanted to change things up a bit, wanted something more simple and clean with a OEM touch to it. After looking around and trying to figure out what i should do next i ended up selling a bunch of my mods to start over with the car, i wanted the GTS look so i been searching for the right company to make GTS parts in carbon fiber and ended up reaching out to Sam w/Mode Carbon for the front lip/diffuser which i can't wait to get. I ended up selling my 220m wheels and picked up some ZCP wheels and drop them off to get them Powder Coated in Black with 20% gloss.

RPI - Air Scoops
KW Sleeves - Thanks to Omar w/VelosDesignwerks

A set of Remus Mufflers with the Angled Carbon Race Tips would look killer with your diffuser. See below.

Here's a better pic of the Remus system with the new CF inlaid angle cut tips...

Shoot me an email at cal@sonicms.net when you're ready to get this system! Since you're local and we've already done business together, I'll get you a good deal!
