Btw, it seems like my wiper blades are not sitting on the right position. Does anyone mind uploading a pic to see how their wiper blades are sitting? I might use it as reference to realign mine.

Cool thats similar to swifts i believe. Rides like stock?

I think I'm taking a break from mods for awhile... And focusing my income on other things. Of course I'm always on the lookout for good deals, but I am happy with how the car sits now I still owe you guys pictures of the shuttle grilles (I know I know, it's been weeks now) but between bad weather and my busy schedule I haven't gotten a chance to properly clean the car. Eventually I'll post some pics.

Fluids

At 143k and while debating whether I should get a yonaka catback I decided to change my oil, atf fluid, and coolant....pep boys was not pleased when I rolled up with all the used fluids for disposal.

On another note ordered a k&n drop in air filter for my crz airbox mod....hoping the added induction sound will scratch the itch and I won't Want the catback anymore. Looking at those rusted bolts by after the 2nd cat and know it will be a pain in the ass to do on Jackstands underneath the car.

^ I'm going to get a Megan OE-RS exhaust. It costs as much as the Yonaka (actually a little more for shipping to Canada), but I like the mild sound of it.

Ordered a Cusco V1 lower arm bar! Should be shipping from Japan shortly.

Hey guys, couple updates.

- Replaced the battery, car still had the OEM and it almost died on me.
- Replaced wheels (VOSSEN17) and tires (205/40/17) - huge improvement from my 15".
- Installed my TEIN lowering springs -- car feels nicers, however the front seems to sit a bit higher; read a few posts about it and everyone recommends to let some day pass so they can sit like they should (thoughs?-- I'm thinking it is because I have KYC shocks on the rear which were installed couple months ago due to my stock rear shocks being bad)
- I also installed an AllFit Lip on the front bumper.

...Aaaand I ordered the exhaust. I was going to wait, but I decided to pull the trigger. I've never used an aftermarket exhaust on a car before. I had a Z24 exhaust from the junkyard on my base cav (I think it was 1.75" vs. 1.5" for the 4 banger vs. the V6), but never an aftermarket unit.

I mentioned it on TFC, but I'll say it here, too: Last payment cleared on Saturday! I'm so glad to have that off my plate.

The mods are already coming in the mail. We're starting small, but soon enough there will be some of the good stuff on the way. Tax time is soon, too...
It's a combo of 3 rustoleum paints. Brown base, metallic purple mid and matte clear.
