Ahh it was you! I was trying to get that T1R pipe for someone, but you sealed the deal before I could.

Congrats haha!

You could talk to JDP or Rogue about overlaying the Mugen grill trim (the part that is painted blue) with CF. It probably wouldn't be too expensive...


I see you decided not to go with the DIY $50 axleback...I swear it is the sweetest growl you'll ever hear on a 4 cylinder. Plus, you get a nice weight reduction since the muffler shop is deleting the muffler and swapping on a straight pipe.

I like the Stance on yours better than the GF's. Your wheels look much more symmetrical inside the wheel wells than her's do. At the bottom of her bumper/fender, it just looks wierd - waaay too far from the wheel.

Car looks beautiful. I'm new to the scene, do you mind sharing where you got the red emblem on the steering wheel?

How did you cut those two extra button holes so cleanly? They all look perfect.

Thank you

As for the holes you're talking about, they're actual pieces that are held on by clips or w/e from behind. You pull the plastic piece down and you'll know what I'm talking about. The fuses are located behind there as well.

No rubbing so far under normal driving conditions on 195/50/16 on Tein S-Tech, nor 205/50/16 on Swift.

Mugen Grill

Is the color of your Mugen grill Blue sensation pearl? I have vortex blue as well, but I've been holding back on whether I should get the mugen grill in Blue Sensation Pearl. Are the colors the same for the most part?

My Mugen grille is painted vortex blue pearl. There's some differences between the two colors.

Did you paint it yourself? Or did you buy it somewhere already painted that color?
