i like both sets of rims. i'm not a fan of the elephant ear factory mirrors. but some people can't see out the small mirrors so i understand that. i have an apr bumper like that in my garage and i'm not fond of it.( very upset with the fit and finish in comparison to other bumpers i have seen) i wish i wouldn't have got it but oh well. i think a factory 9 front with an se lip would set it off. looks nice either way.

First off I dont wont to start a all out war between the 2 shops but, the intercooler on it befor was the Buschur race core, I replaced it with the AMS standard core. Now from what I have noticed is quicker spool in first gear and lag time has decreased through out the rest. I belive that the race core from buschur was to large to be efficient for the fp3065. I have no data logs eiather, only my hands holding on the steiring wheel.

I like the Advan RS better and I like the wing better than wingless. Although the CE28s are still very nice. I love the removal of the vinyl stickers on the sides. Overall I like it!

the ams intercooler looks dope on a IX bumper and he probably put it on cause he likes it. His car, his money, his choice. Plus its track proven so its not like he's neccessarily downgrading. Both ams and buschur are great shops, thats prolly all there is to say. Car looks good overall but I wouldn't have gone with the APR front bumper. The mesh looks a little flimsy and the bumper with the integrated lip just doesn't look as sharp as a stock IX with an apr lip imho. I mean yea it costs a little more, but on a car like yours with all the big money mods, you might as well have shelled out the extra 300 or so.

Thanks bro..and yes I can see a IX front bumper with a SE lip in the near future...and as far as times it ran a 10.83 at 133 on 29psi. I want to see what 33psi will do
