Yeah I see that ETS stuff is a little bit cheaper as well. Can you interchange companys parts? Like ets intake and ams UICP? Cause some companys have nicer parts for different areas compared to one brand.

EXACTLY! I look at the cloth and im like, this car isnt any means a piece of ****. Its bad enough my family and gf dont like the car now LMAO. It just sucks how dealers want outrageous prices for used ones when I could buy a brand new for a couple extra thousand. The only thing that sucks for me is im very impatient lmfao and I like to have the extra hp under the hood for the rich ***** in the area who drive their bmws and audis lol

I am personally a fan of sticking with one company. give Michael at ETS a call. He's cool about doing a parts bundle which should save you a few bucks as opposed to buying all the parts separately.

Get exactly what you want in the car. If you want leather, then get the SL package. If you want a specific color, then get that color. Don't settle.

Well I took it for a test drive. Looks like im using the extra money for leather seats, I really dont like the cloth ones at all! Got lucky that the dealer let me and my dad go for a ride in the evo without the salesman. One thing I noticed is you get to redline pretty quick with the 4cyl. But I still feel a hesitation when you step on it. Im assuming turbo lag? Nothing compared to the supercharged v8 which threw you right back in your seat lol. Still a great car but also a little tight for me as well!

My 2012 was a base model. My 2013 has the leather. The leather really does make the interior look nicer IMO. I was surprised that the leather doesn't get to hot also.

On the stock tune you will really feel the turbo lag. For the most part the turbo kicks in from 3.5k to 5k rpms. Any other packages you want? SL, interior, illumination, navigation?
