Decided to start my own thread. Bought this beaut back in Nov of 2013.... Loving it to the point there i want to spend some $$ on her to make her feel good. Haha. Anyways i only have one stock complain. My Mirror cap, the one that connects to the door squeaks.... other than that i drive S mode most of the time and love the interior.
Pics when i first got the car...
Within a few months she hits 11111 miles..... FML....
Decided to get my first mod in, Got the Takeda Intake for the 2IS. Got it from Amazon includin shipping for 220$ Sounds amazing as it screams in the higher revs. Love the sound from it. It fits perfectly. I havent had any issues whatsoever. Altho i had to purchase a clamp for the smaller rubber tube since the OEM clamp was useless.
Few Weeks later i ran into some trouble with the cops, got me for no front plate and tinted fronts. I live in LA.... i had my fronts tinted 35% with 3M which isnt dark at all..... Got myself the Grimmspeed License plate holder for the tow hook..
Finally on to the something that might be interesting. I met up with r0shrio on CL, cool guy and was able to hear his ARK Performance Exhaust and i must say it was love at first sight. haha. I hit up ARK Performance and quickly got mine. The guys there are awesomely friendly, sick cars as well.
I got mine in polished tip as i think it would be suitable for my car since it is black. From any angle, this thing looks amazing. All my buddies love the look and the sound this thing makes. In regards to the sound, it sounds like a beast with a growl in the lower revs like what a V6 should sound like and as it gets into the higher revs its pretty smooth... And include that with my intake it sounds pretty sweet. In regards to drone-wise, there is a little drone of course when you press on the pedal but its a growl, a better growl compare to the WRX's. When you are on cruising speed you wont hear any drone nor when im on the highway. FYI, as i decelerate the sound it makes in S mode makes it more enjoyable. Sounds good to me. Makes me fall in love with my car again as i was about to get bored. hhaa.
Pictures for you guys
Upcoming mods would be waiting for a Coilover suspension setup that will give me my S+ mode. I think its the coolest feature this car has aside from the LFA Cluster. (J5) And maybe after a while i will consider Rims as i would need to utilize my spendings on other things in life. Feel free to comment/ask questions.

I'm deciding between this and the JoeZ axleback... Also looking into remote controlled exhausts..
