Looks clean overall.

Yeah, not a fan of the interior myself, a bit too 'p plater'. :lol:
But each to their own.

Looks like you love your FTO, keep it up.
All the FTO's I have met have been individual and you are making it yours :thumright:
Is your intake manifold polished or painted?

Yes I indeed love my FTO :) at first I was gonna go for a integra dc2 but then saw this fto and their pretty hard to find in WA my licensing centre and windscreen replacement place didn't know what was a fto, you would maybe see 1 on the road each fortnight.

Only the engine cover has been painted by the previous owner and I like to keep my engine bay clean :) so it probably just polished?

Is it completely carbon fibre, or just wrapped?
