That's a matter of preference by the car owner. Welding it is obviously stiffer than bolting, but bolting it in makes it removable. Many feel a bolt-in is better for track usage just incase of a "whoopsie" and the car needs to come apart, but we've also found that if it needs repair, any reputable shop can cut the connection, fix the car, and re-weld it pretty easily. We've done it both ways.

Following; I would be interested how you register this car. Thanks

Every state seems to handle this differently, and Dynacorn provides some links to the individual state requirements.

This car is going to live outside the USA, so the customer is handling that end.

Inside the car, speaker holes were cut in the doors, and the wiring was tested in the dashboard. A bracket was made to mount the Mast M 120 ECM behind the glove box.



Fesler LED panels were installed in stock taillight housings for a brighter appearance.



An American Autowire Classic Update harness was used to wire the car. The Classic Update harness is longer than a stock harness and has additional circuits allowing the installer to locate components in non-stock locations. This can help clean up the under hood area, especially where space is at a premium.







A Detroit Speed electric RS headlight conversion kit was installed.

Out back, the rear bumper was narrowed and relief pockets were cut and molded into the quarter panels. Then a thin steel relief was added to the tall panel to frame the bumper and provide for a molded look. RS reverse lights were also installed.

A Dedenbear relay center was installed in the front fender pocket near the original battery location on the passenger side.





On the driver side, the crew made an air filter housing to pull cool air from inside the fender area.

Looks Great! I like all the subtle changes.

how would cool air enter into the filter inside the fender ?

The inner fender area is always full of cool air. It's not a "ram air" type effect, but rather a thermally isolated box with much lower temps than the underhood area. This is something the OEs have been doing for years.

With the LS9 and DSE subframe, are you using the Concept one bracket and if so did you have to notch the sub for the ac compressor fitment?
Thanks
