Picking up the WRX from S-squared tomorrow!
Picking up the '04 wagon from S-squared tomorrow!
Getting a reflash, TBE, crank pulley, intercooler hoses & K&N drop-in. Any advice on how to drive it immediately after these mods will be most welcome, i.e. does it take time for the ECU to learn after a reflash? Do you keep it under a certain RPM for awhile? Ya, I'm ignant as hell, but learnin'.
Also, can anyone recommend a good tint shop?
Thanks!

The best way to make sure everything is A-OK is to ZING OUT the car out...plus its a good reason to have some fun.

They did a great job on my car. Super clean and competitively priced. They are also the only place in the area that has ceramic tint.

Not to contradict Ryball, but I just got my car back from an excellent job by Eclipse, too. Was 310 for all 7 windows on my wagon, with 3M ceramic tint. When I called, he immediately recommended the 3M ceramic when I voiced my concerns about my V1.

No worries, I just wanted to let people know there are multiple options out there
Your tint looks hot. I'm still debating whether I should have gone bronze on my car, but there was nothing darker than 20.
