3 guages in a guage pod, where the time used to be, boost guage in the stock location (uggghhhh) and two on the top of the dash off to the left.
I still have the stock wing on my stock trunk on my car.
The exhaust isnt that loud-since the super ti has two resonators (mount up).

I wonder if the gauges are part of your problem? A-pillar and dash mount gauges are very easily visible..

I'm not sure if I missed anything. I do have a lot of new parts that I havent put on yet. HKS 3037 pro-s turbo, carbon fiber RS hood, carbon fiber seibon trunk, zerosports manifold, and a bunch of stuff I bought over a DBtuned-perrin rotated mount kit, perrin intercooler, injectors, fuel pump, accessport and I think thats it-not sure. Oh and a set of bronze CE28ns-18x8.5's.
1. Your car is hot. Want to touch the hiney.

2. It is also a cop magnet. Visible mods = probably cause for hood popping. I see now why you are worried. I had been under the impression that you didn't really have any reason to worry...

Notice the end when I started to talk about the mods that were going on the car-I guess that would have changed things a bit-oh except for the part where I was getting pulled over.

Haha, I was suprised BAN SUVS hasn't yet jumped in to try and convince mashpro to go back to stock (and call dibs on the Volks).

The cops have never said anything about the guages, but then again when Im getting a tan from all of the amber hitting my face, I guess that could be a problem.

Whichever, I don't think he's picky.

I think it might be the wing thing, when I had my WRX wing and my big Volk GT-V's and my Invidia exhaust, I definitly got the looks from the cops. Now that I'm wingless, I try to get looked at and it just ain't happenin' and I run with a Greddy front lip and C-West rear lip with a rice loud Kakimoto exhaust. My thoughts are when you swap to the Perrin front mount, go with a non-canister style exhaust and have it coated black (Like the Fujitsubo Legalis Viable with the in-car variable valve to control exhaust flow and sound). Also, Defi makes a small digital meter (which I recently aquired!!! Thanks Alex!!) that lets you read all of the outputs that Defi makes (i.e. fuel pressure, oil pressure, boost, all temps, etc.) in a nice compact OEL digital display, or better yet, go to the VSD display that is like a heads up display, very easy to read even during the daytime That should be total stealth w/ plenty of show and go.
