Got everything installed and programmed the new tune and it made a HUGE difference. Much more responsive now. Only problem is it has a hard time maintaining idle sometimes and stalls due to the cams but I was told to expect that since I have no tune for the cams yet.

New plates.



New Throttle Body.

Just finished installing the X-pipe. Wasn't going to rev it cause my neighbors would shoot me but it sounds much better. And yes I know I have a bulb out.

Did a quick video of the exhaust while moving. Seeing it I should of went slower so you got a better sound clip.

That sounds good. I would have guessed it to be raspy sounding because of the x-pipe but I see it is catted and I am sure that's why it sounds so good.

Wheels showed up but they screwed up and sent gun metal instead of black. I actually don't mind them. I have been in touch with the vendor to see how to resolve this. Shipping alone will be $600 plus whereas I could get them powder coated locally for $400. We'll see if I can get them to agree to that. Also had the front lip painted.

I actually like the current wheel color and think it goes with the body color rather well. The car looks great!

Well I got it cleaned up and I actually really like the wheels. Don't think I am going to powder coat them.

sharp car, now the outside matches with the black and gray interior. I would keep them and see if they would send a rebate since they are not what you ordered. Put the money toward your brake upgrade.

Yes. I soaked them in bleach first to remove the chrome then painted them.

I used Krylon Fusion followed by Dupont clear. Yes you have to use new tape.

You are my mod hero. But I think you went over the top by getting rid of the leather...
