Thanks, it's a Stett CAI. The engine bay should look even more bad ass when i post my next update. I got an aluminum intake block with the Stett logo put on.

Bumper plugs were bought from here: http://www.bumperplugs.com/BPindex.html It's the second set i've bought from them and they are always perfect.

Huh that's the OEM hood

... Unless you mean the LCI hood? If your talking about the LCI hood then i'm the opposite. I like the lines on the LCI hood much more than the pre-lci and think it looks much more agressive.

Thanks! I actually like it a lot now although I was worried at first... At first it seemed too loud and sounded terrible in when the car was at full boost and high RPMs but now it sounds great all around. It's pretty much exactly what i wanted which is quiet unless you want it to be loud. With the windows up you can't even hear it. I'm actually working on getting some HD sound clips up here sometime soon.

Hmm well I guess to each their own cause i love the lines on the LCI hood.

Gto3 · 08-22-2012, 11:09 PM

great progression of mods! looks clean and well done.

Paulilama · 08-23-2012, 11:55 AM

Car is lookin awesome man! cant wait to hear the clips of the BOV. Im in agreement with you also about the hood lines. i love the LCI hood. what is the big difference between the M wheel though?? Other than the red and blue stitching and the M, i didnt see anything major

nrrm1127 · 08-23-2012, 12:06 PM

Thank you. I haven't seen anything about that in the tri-state but i might try to make it out. School is starting soon though so idk if i'll be able to make it.

Yea I love the lines and i'll try to get those sound clips up sometime soon. I just gotta get one of my buddies to come for a ride and record for me. The wheel surprisingly changes a lot more than just the stitching. It's thicker, has better cushioning, better grip, and it's a much softer/smoother leather. It also changes the steering wheel trim which changes the look of the interior for the better in my opinion.

Hahah I know... This stock xi suspension is terrible and I definitely have to change it soon. After DP's, FMIC, and an exhaust i'm going to start saving up for some coils and sways.

wow car looks amazing!!!!! where did you get your spoiler from I WANT IT!!!!!

bigdaddycane · 09-21-2012, 07:36 AM

nice progression and well chosen mods...

I have been thinking of the plastic dip rear valence (poor man's Mtech) but you actually did it...nice work!

Now, get some coilovers on that thing and lower it appropriately! You'll be amazed at how much more aggressive it will look.

EJ_3 · 09-21-2012, 08:09 AM

Looks good, keep it up!
