Did you do the tint yourself? Me likey. If you did what did you use? And I see you went with the black spolier. I did too. I don't think the painted ones say "sport" like the black ones do. The painted ones are just so refined. No offense to all of you refined types :p


Metamerism. The phenomina where two colors match under one light soucre, but don't match under another. I have that same problem on my front right fender :(

I had the tint done at a shop. Total was 180 or something like that.

The back half of the car likes to turn pink faster than the front half. I seriously have to keep on it weekly. One day maybe a paint job.

I hate to pick at you, but I just noticed that dent on the right side. You haven't tried pulling the rear side panel out and popping that back out from the inside? Roll up a sock and stuff it an another, then put that over a rubber mallet and give it a couple lite whacks. I bet you can get most if not all of that out.

I got it out once before but right there is a popular leaning spot for my friends. Even though they know I now dont want them to.

How do you like the 3.73 Awgy?  Still need a new diff for my turbo and am debating 3.73 or even taller?

The 3.73 is sweet. Perfect for highways. At 57 mph Im at 2500 rpm in 5th gear. I wouldn't go taller gears unless you plan on running more hp.

Funny you should say that... just upped the boost to 11psi today and tuned it.  Alot of fun :D  I'm at the limit of my injectors now though... so no more than 11psi unless I decide to upgrade headgasket, injectors, and studs.  

I doubt I'll do more than 11psi though... I am pretty happy with the way it feels and look forward to getting it on a dyno to see what a real tuner can actually squeeze out of it.
