Allan's Yellow Murci Fondled by SP Engineering

Yellow is a happy color. Therefore, Allan is a happy guy. But, his Murcielago is more of a dull yellow. Dull yellow represents caution, sickness, decay and jealousy. Allan, you need to repaint your car. We're kidding. Allan's Murci shines bright like a diamond in sunny SoCal. As much as he appreciates GT-R's (Allan's Black Edition GT-R), he just wasn't 100% satisfied and came back to us with a first gen Murcielago to be given full attention to by our techs.

Prior to Allan droping off his car with us, he had already gathered up a few parts for us to install.

The techs cleared a lift for the yellow Murci and the transformation began.

As raw as the factory calipers are, Allan wanted to paint match his calipers with his car. And lucky for him, his rotors still had some life left in it to be turned.

While the car was being worked on, we found what looked like a bootleg bird nest of some sort from underneath the car.

The old exhaust weighed in at 12.35 lbs...

... While the TiTek full titanium exhaust weighed in at an impressive 5.5 lbs.

A CarbonTek CF exhaust shroud was also added into the list of items to install.

Drilling into a body of an exotic isn't always a fun task.

But worth it on so many levels.

We couldn't leave Allan's exhaust tips looking like ass. So we got it powdercoated black for him.

See anything noticeable?

If you've guessed right, high five to you. Paint matched calipers came back.

We debated if we wanted Allan to stop or not. But it'd be extremely evil of us. So we bled his brakes with love.

Adjusting ride height just a wee bit.

Hope you enjoyed and thanks for looking!

Don't understand the wing...reminds me of a Trans Am.I have the exact same car and I would never put a wing on it but to each is own

Each is own, personally I think the Murcielago looks boring without one..

The Murciealgo is a beautiful piece of art, I have an 04 since then just touching 15k and I still look at it as if it just got delivered.Maybe I'm weird but I don't even like the way the lp640 looks in the rear with the diffuser or the roadster.The Aventador is hot with all the lines and could probably use a wing but the Murci just looks

completely sexy and I think the wing disturbs the look.I do like the other upgrades though

Saw Allan's car yesterday, the wing, brakes, and wheels look incredible! Didn't get a chance to hear the exhaust but the carbon shroud and black tips also look great!

 

I am not a fan of the wrap, but as long as Allan is happy that is all that matters
