I'll take pics in the morning...hopefully it isnt pouring! this gives me an excuse to use the camera i bought and have never ever used lol

I bought plastidip at home hardware and plan on taking off the bumper sometime this week or next weekend to blackout the front. I know a lot of people have trouble finding this stuff in the GTA. There is a Home Hardware just north of Hwy 7 on woodbine that carries all the colours of plastidip spray. they have tons of the stuff!

Have a G2 paintkit kicking around somewhere to for the calipers I need to figure out how to use lol is it better to pull off the caliper completely to paint or can I still get it looking good with the caliper's in place and just everything taped off?

OBSESSED after 3 days of ownership!

Some cops are .. I dont even run a front plate
got pulled over 3 days after buying my X but no ticket,, Im pushing my luck but I dis like front plates, and a side plate is a must with an X due to the intercooler. but there is no law saying where the plate is located, it only says it must be located in the front of your car, so if that cop was busting your *****, take his badge number and report him! there is nothing illegal with a side plate!

INJEN or AEM intake is a good place to start. Then go with a good Exhaust upgrade. I just finished my testing of the Greddy SE, and it has me thinking I dont want to sell it. Do the intake first cause its cheaper, Big brand Exhausts are going to run you in the 600+ range. Intakes half that.

As mentioned before, Alot of vendors have started R&D and production on our car this year now that Mitsu isnt messing with the design for this product cycle. DC Sports is firing a massive salvo of hardware. Exhausts, Headers and all
