That looks a little off to me, maybe with the blue wheels it will tie it together better

yeah im hoping to... i did the hatch in black originally but peeled it off and did blue the black matched the current wheels better. Im hoping when i do the wheels in blue it will tie it together better.

Cool idea with dipping the hatch. Gives it a nice touch!

Thanks guys! The sound from the intake has increased the drivability. I know the stock tune will restrict the power back down but the sound itself just makes it better. However not for fuel consumption. My right foot has turned to lead again.

Got them directly from Weather Tech, they aren't stocked so they had to make a set and ship them. It still didn't take very long. I believe they have sedan ones also.

The front ones slid in with a nice "pressure fit" The rear also fit well but they had an adhesive strip to secure them.. I let them sit overnight so they would seat properly.. The windows now roll at normal speed and the automatic function works properly on the drivers side..

If you do get these when you first roll the windows up there is some cracking but that is just the plastic bending to fit which is normal from what I've read.. So far very pleased with them.. Also my exhaust arrived in last night I will post pics as soon as possible..

New grille prior to install...

 

[AustinK]

My most recent pictures of the car.. This is before i replaced the front grill.

Greddy Ti-C muffler that came in.. Install will be as soon as possible. I can't wait to get this on the car.
