Congrats!

The '12 I ordered is on the way, so seeing your pics is making me too excited haha!


.....and "clear bra" makes for a good intro to a naughty conversation with your lady.

get a downpipe and install that at the same time as intake and get a protune...just the intake wont do much

aftermarket sway bars/endlinks will do more for your handling than strut bars

other than that car looks good and welcome to the community!

I decided to just go with HID bulbs which actually seem to work out ok, tho I understand it's best to retrofit or upgrade the housings

Thank you, and yes the ride's even better now with the subtle mods I've added. Undertail is self made with some cutting and sanding down :]

yes yes, that is definitely a good point and makes sense now that I've had time to do more reading and research. guys at AHQ even told me that the intake won't do much as well without other proper mods. I do plan to get a protune when the tuner is in town. thanks for the pointers and welcome
