Thanks for your service, I have an Apex GT on my FD. I like it, kinda of loud.

[mnrthrt]

Thank you mang. Hoping mine will sound good, and loud too. ha Finished ordering all my parts and got everything in the mail but right now im waiting on quotes for an install from a shop. I really want to do it myself but I want to drive it when I get home already done.

I have an NA aluminum hood, where are you coming home to? Shipping might not be worth it if you're not close to me in CA.

[mnrthrt]

[mnrthrt]

Im still waiting on the Corksport Exhaust system, back ordered. I am debating on getting 5zigen fn01r-c's, yeah, those wheels hah. I just think matt black with the car painted will look sicker than the motegis. Please tell me what you think.

i think fn01r-c's would look great... the wheels you have on there not... not so much

[mnrthrt]

Wow! OK....soooo ha just ordered 2x(front)17x8 +25 and 2X(rear)17x9 +35 5zigen fn01r-c polished wheels from autornd. Matte Black has disappeared off the map, can't find them in stock ANYWHERE. Figured I can just powder coat them later. And Derrick from Corksport finally got back to me and is shipping the power series header back exhaust and their radiator. Now I just need tires and a paint job and I will be happy..... for now. lol Think I need a gasket for the headers too? Looks like im gonna sell the motegi's. ha Man should have listened to the cats on here that said, do it right the first time or you will end up hating it and selling everything. ha
