Yea, there was a guy on here selling his ralliart grill for $150 or something, and when I went to buy it from him, he suddenly changed his mind. I haven't checked into it since. If you get a line on someone selling a Labrador Black one for around that price please tell them to send me a PM or somethin. Thx.

Your car looks great -

About the only thing I could say about it is the same thing that others have mentioned - the windshield sticker tends to throw things off a bit.

Yea... It'll be staying for a while yet. That and the logo on the side skirts are definitely a couple of those things which make the car stand out a bit more for me. The vinyl on the windshield is beginning to crack in a few spots, so I may have to get it redone eventually. Thanks for the comments guys!

Those are definitely words to live by. Once I get the catback and headers delivered to me, I'll take pics of the install and finished products. I'm gonna get a shop to install them due to the fact that jack stands won't really give me the clearance I want to keep from scratching the pipes up, etc..

Do you have any pics of your car posted up yet? I'll have a look to see if you do, but if not, be sure to send me a PM with a link to your thread when you get the pics of the lightrikz kit up!

I got this question posted to me, and the answer began to get really long so I figured I'd put it here in the thread in case there are others wondering the same.

let me know man, thanks
I've been running the subs a good bit since putting in the Dynamat Xtreme, and it's proven to have a really big difference. The bass seems to be a lot tighter, and the rear "rice" vibrations have all but stopped. There are still some random areas which give a few vibrations, but nothing compared to the buzzing popping rattling sounds as before which drew nothing but negative attention. I applied it to the whole trunk floor, including the spare tire well. I also cut out 4 pieces to do the little circular indents on the bottom of the trunk lid itself, and another piece covering the entire back of the license plate. On top of that, my rear tail lights were rattling pretty bad, so I cut out a few thinner strips and put them around the border of where the tail lights come into contact with the fenders. Overall, I'm very very pleased with the results. The only thing at all negative is that with those rattles gone, there are other ones which become apparent.. like the rear speaker deck. When you turn the bass up really high, you can definitely hear a little bit of vibration between that and the rear window. As well, my headliner occasionally vibrates against the front window. All in all, it was a great mod and there are absolutely no regrets.. only positives. I'd suggest you do it if you have a few extra bucks for it. I got the Dynamat Xtreme Trunk kit from Futureshop. I'm not sure if you guys have Futureshop in the US, but you can definitely track down the Dynamat kit easier than us guys in Canada

The kit cost me $199.99 CDN and did all the above areas as well as having some bits left over. Be sure to take your time, trim it out correctly, and wear some type of gloves because the foil on the backing of the Dynamat gives some really nasty cuts when smoothing out the edges. Have a hair-dryer with you as well to heat it up really well for a secure stick.

Good luck!









And here's a pic of how I applied the Dynamat strips around the tail light contact points. It looks a little ghetto, but works nicely.

Oh... umm.... I guess I have another tiny update to put on here. I just got off of RRM's site and well... I ordered the UD Pulley, and a set of Magnacore wires. Yay for impulse buys!!
