Went outside and took a few pictures today as it finally warmed up, relatively speaking as its still -8c. Apologies for the filthy car!

Will make some video clips tomorrow and post them on Youtube.

 

looks really nice man

 

Thanks man. I'm pretty pleased with the exhaust so far. The deep tone isn't a disturbance at all like I was originally worried about.


Just took a couple videos (HQ Widescreen) which I added to Youtube tonight.

Sorry for the delay in this, but with temp's hovering in the -20c to -35c mark for a few weeks now, it was just too cold. With the weather finally warming up today though, I had a chance to take a couple clips. Both are closeups of the exhaust from behind. One of the car idling, and one with it revving to about 5000RPM.

looks nice!

 

Hey karan,

Where did you get your black DE grille?

 

Through the dealer, but in hindsight I regret it cause it would've been cheaper to wait it out and get something aftermarket and save some cash.

 

Well I thought I'd post up some pics of the K&N SRI install. And yes I did get my engine bay freshly shampooed and dressed this past weekend, for the first time since I bought the car.

 

The guy who did the engine dressing also detailed the full car for me as well: Hand wash, claybar, swirl remover polish & high gloss paint sealant.

I ended up installing a few cosmetic items as well since then as well: Fender arches, Ralliart doorsill plates & foglight chrome surround rings.

 

Looks great. I have an electric blue myself. You seem to have less rock chips than me though. How many miles do you have?

 

Thanks man. The 3M film on the front helps a lot with the chips but I made a bit mistake not getting it on the sideskirts. The section just in front of the rear tires is absolutely sandblasted. I have only about 10,000 miles on the car though.

 

pretty mean

 

Well I finally had the v-lip installed this past week!

Got it from the ebay seller rickchong* and it shipped surprisingly quickly and arrived in decent condition. There was just one small 1/2" sized chip but its not a very noticable area thankfully.

Shipped with 6 screws (3 for each side) but the shop didn't like the look of them so they used alternate body screws along with body clips and used 10 in total for additional support. Feels really solid now and the fitment is pretty good.

 

Did a small photoshoot a couple weeks ago with my friend's Jetta at a parkade in the city here. Thought I'd share a few of the pics from it.

 

nice backround
any plans for more mods? like wheels?
