"Sound" upgrades!  Stance looks great!  Do make sure the CAI seal is proper against the hood.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Looking good...that rubber lip you put on the CAI box should fold outward though. As SHODDED mentioned, I'd chalk test that thing too. Most cases that thing doesn't make a tight seal to the hood liner because of the contour of the hood liner.

finally had a chance to put car on a dyno. looks like i lost 3 hp and gained like 30 ft-lbs of torque. weird.

winter is coming)) so i decided to swap the tires out and since i am not a big fan of stock wheels, i think they will work great as a winter set. i decided to powder coat them all black.

applying clear over freshly coat of powder




what do you think?
