That said, congrats on the Ralliart and the color too. Stands out for sure

definitely get the rallyarmor mud flaps. they help the car look wider and meaner, and also protect that paper-thin paint job. I have RG too, and went with the silver typing on it.
I blacked out my middle hood scoop with vinyl from ebay. I think it looks a lot better on the RG - sets it off more. Just an idea:
I'm installing a Prosport Digital Boost Gauge this weekend. It should be easy and it's mostly a novelty, I don't think we need one. That being said, I think it's cool.
Upgrade your brakes/tires asap. I'm going with 4 continental DWS all seasons at 225/45/R18 soon, and already have front/rear EBC red stuff pads in the mail.

Thanks for the advice. Where do you plan on putting your gauges? I see the A pillar is out because of the head air bags.

I used it to isolate my battery when leaving the car parked for 2 months in the middle winter. I'm pretty confident nothing gets powered when this fuse is pulled out.
I find it a nice anti-theft system as well when leaving the car parked for an extended period of time. If someone tries to start the car, I doubt they would look in the fuse box for a removed fuse!
Congrats on your purchase! Enjoy it!

That being said, I don't want them there. I'm probably going to put mine near where the top of the stereo dash meets the steering wheel dash area. I might even do a how-to in order to help some, even though it's kinda straightforward..

FYI, You don't need to remove anything in order to cut battery power. In the fuse box, on the left side of it there is a 50 or 60A fuse with a big yellow cap on it. It's the battery master fuse, just pull it out.

I read that it doesn't show any HP gains or increase 0-60 or 1/4 mile runs. I think I would rather put my money toward something that shows real gains. Anyone else that has one that can chime in.
Of course it doesn't increase power output. It is kind of like adding lead to your shoes. It just increases the signal impulse going from the peddle to the ECU.
As far as the Pillar pod being an issue with the airbags, this has been covered many many times and the airbags actually deploy above the window so you can have any pillar pod setup you want and it will not be an issue if you are in an accident, good luck. If for some reason you dont like that look, you can get the perrin gauge pods, which attach to the steering column, one on each side, looks pretty good.

Okay I get in the car today excited have the Sirius working. First thing it says is antenna error. I went ahead and made an appointment for next friday at the dealership. Just sucks the closest dealer is 3 and half hours away. At least I will be able to get it fixed now.

Okay new update! I don't know why but instead of trying out Sat 1, I went to Sat 2 and I now have Sirius radio again LOL. I don't get it but at least I can access the satelite radio on Sat2. I wonder if anyone else ever tried that?
