a couple of quick updates.. My Rowen stainless exhaust finally arrive but they made a mistake and shipped me stainless tips instead of the burnt titanium, so like any well known Japanese company.. they corrected the problem very quickly and sent me some titanium tips right away. I didn't even need to send the wrong ones back, so now I have 2 sets of tips

(Please excuse the noisy cell phone photo)

Next is the summer rims which I've placed an order for since last Oct.(VOLK RACING G27 18x8.5 +45 in Prism Light Silver) Got some update from vendor that Rays still hasn't got enough quota filled to start a new batch production yet, so I may be switching from my my original order of 18" to 19" if that will speed things up a bit.

You end up getting them Aliexpress floor mats? How'd they fit and all that?

Getting tired of the snow and muck ruining the carpet with the Factory All weather mats. Doesn't run up the side so its like spashy mess haha

ya I got the mats... everything but the driver mat fits wonderfully, The driver mat was for a RWD version since China didn't get the AWD, they didn't even know it existed. So they ended up mocking one up for me based on photos of AWD vs RWD mats... the fit is about 80% but I'm happy with them. once it's cleaner I will give the mats a good wash and take some pictures.

Besides the Aliexpress ones, the weathertech ones are a nice upgrade over the stock mats as well. They don't cover nearly as much as the Aliexpress ones, but still much better than stock.

Placed an order with nigeljdmparts for the SARD rear swaybar (fronts are only RWD compatible). But was able to find that a Japanese company T-Demand makes front and rear swaybars that will clear both AWD & RWD.. so many look in ordering these for the front

The tips are part of the Rowen exhaust and are not sold separately.

Thou I was told replacement tips will run you $640US shipped if you damaged yours and are on their database as an owner of their exhaust products.

Had a chance to give the car a good wash last night, so I'd figure I'll do some test fitting of the LX-Mode head light pieces I've had for a while.



at the time, I thought they looked really cool on LX-Mode's demo car, but in real life, I'm not sure if I like them... may give it a try again later after I installed the TRD front corner lip pieces.
