and here is where I stand as of now. I should pick up the car from the shop tomorow. It is there getting a custom downpipe done. I will install the fan shroud and the undertray and after that it will be all tunning and getting it in the road.

That's a clean car and nice setup too. How's that BOV working for you and do you like it?
I have the same one on my 7, and I'm hoping I dont regret buying it.
