Voted for Gerard! So clean and amazing pics.

If nastynogales had better Pics he would have taken it with his baller wheels and sexy fitment.
 
2 Badass MS3's but I gotta throw a vote down for Evan. Tons of work into that car and it sounds amazing :)
 
I had to go with Evan on this one because his swap just looks so clean and there is just so much work involved with it. That and it looks so clean.... So clean.

Edit: I'd have to give Droopy some props because I hardly see MP3s anymore and that thing is nice looking. Your engine bay is amazing looking.

Same here his P5 is sexy I love the 3's but the swap is what puts it over for me. That's one of the cleanest P5's I've seen
 
Some pretty damn nice cars in it this month. Wow. Voted.
 
Theyre all great, but there is so much love put into that p5...it was an easy choice
 
daaaang, evan is killing it! been a while since i've seen such a lopsided race. still a bunch of very good entrants this month.
 
O'rly..... So all it takes to win these things anymore is a swap.? No hate, just curious cuz of the vote tally thus far. Or is it being promoted somewhere? That's a lot of votes for one person in such a short time

A number of people have been following his build thread, no one is promoting him. If you followed the thread you can see why a number of folks are supporting him. Having seen all of the work done personally by him in person, he gets my vote for doing ths swap on his own.

Wow, a lot of great entries the past few months!!!

I'm not really a fan of the Gen2 MS3s, but damn Gejay99's looks goooood! Probably the 2nd one I've seen that I really like.

I feel like I've seen Droopy's car before in Akron. I always used to see a Blue MP3 that looked very similar to his.

I had to vote for Lewis though. Hearing that thing in person is AMAZING!! As in...change your pants amazing. He didn't half-ass a single thing with the swap, and I really like the paint job on the engine and intake mani.

What he said, that swap got my vote even though it intimidated me when I saw it entered. It looks great so I can't even imagine how it would sound for real.
 
thats one awesome p5. droopy gets my vote though. im just not a wagon/hatch fan. Although I'd take one over an SUV any day.
