I'm doing a bunch of swaps from my old car drivetrain-wise, so I think I'm gonna test out TRE's built 6 speed. I'm a little nervous because the 6 speed shifts so smoothly, especially compared to my built 5 speed, so hopefully the built 6 will be as smooth

Seat Mystery Solved
When I first got the car, the seats were lowered on Binary Engineering brackets, but the seat rails were stock. The seating position was lowered a good amount, which was fine, but I couldn't pull the seat all the way forward - Danner said the only thing changed was the bracket. I was just about to get seat rails in addition to brackets but -

So I guess it does restrict some forward motion. I'm not that short (5'10-11) but I like to sit up really close to the steering wheel etc, so the bracket will be coming out I guess!
edit::
After finally driving around a little with the stock seat height, I'm starting to feel less like a stranger in the car. stock seat height puts me back to exactly where I'm used to in an Evo, so it's like I never left.

XPEL Clear Bra 1/16/2013
Went to a local clear bra shop to redo the clear bra on the hood and add it for the bumper and mirrors - I was dead set on whatever they had for the 3M brand but these guys sold me on the XPEL Ultimate - the owner said the original XPEL brand films were pretty crappy, but this latest iteration is even better than 3M's - they're about equal in terms of protection from rock chips and both are UV-neutral, but XPEL is more invisible, more resistant to insects, and is self-healing. He said it'd look better on white cars than the 3M as well.
On top of that, XPEL has a 10 year warranty against yellowing, staining, cracking, blistering, and delaminating that covers parts and labor (vs 3M's 5yr, which also covers parts and labor).
Pics:
^ this is the kind of shot that used to make me envy WW owners
Very happy with the results - like the guy said, it's practically invisible. I can't see any of it unless I get right up close to the car. It's starting to feel a little more like my own car now.
