thanks for the compliments guys...its a work in progress!

the aluminum is standard on the MR...its part of the appearance package. the MR gets shipped over from Japan with these leather shift knobs. they take them off and replace them with the aluminum ones with the fake CF. where do they put the leather ones? in the trash...i was lucky enough to get one from a guy who worked at a dealership close by.

the exhaust...i love it. not loud at all at idle...you notice it slightly if you stand outside...but inside the cabin at idle is pretty much the same as stock. yes, i did spray the exhaust before installation.

the intake...i love it too. messes up my idle a bit but im hoping to get that fixed soon...no, i didnt paint the intake, fujitas come in either polished chrome or black.

the decal...its "the Spirit of Competition"...a Ralliart decal.

the zero lift kit is gone...as well as my undertray. i removed them both because they were a PITA when i changed my lights/did the intake. i removed them before i got the springs so i dont know if i would scrape more or not.

thanks...yea, i had the knob sitting in my car for about a good 6 months before i put it on. it took me forever to take off the aluminum one.

once again, thanks for the compliments guys!

next planned mods are: APR CF front lip, APR CF rear diffuser

I,m thinking of getting swift springs on my IX GSR. How does it ride and handle with the stock shocks as a daily driver.

you might want to trade the VTA BOV for a recirculated one and have a stronger, less troublesome powerband.

Search and you'll find out why

the RFL is just a loaner...waiting for my stock BOV...lent it to a friend who went in to the dealer to have some warranty work done. should be having it back soon...yes, the bogging is not pleasing to me.
