Darren-B Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Looking good, I do like the wrapped reflectors,. There is someone on here that does the spacers for the O2 sensors to stop the cel lights, Or you could get the uprev remap, I'm pretty sur they can stop the lights coming on with that .
