That's a great idea. I might do that.

I picked up my other new custom grille from my paint guy and put it on the 05.

I may order a new shell for the key to 02 today. It's like $7 on Amazon.

Actually I was the one who polished the trim. She washed the car.

That's my little sister's account.

Those tanabes look like a great stance with the factory 18s. Did you reuse your factory struts? You should start a thread about your install and results. Thinking about ordering them for my car but want to know how people's experiences have been

I ordered new struts from Tirerack . My friend who is the mechanic helped me to installed them and since we did it at home with only the small jack to lift the car , it took us a little longer than expected like 5 hours . I believe it would be alot faster and easier if we had the real lifter. So far i can tell that the ride is much better than stock in cornering , a little bit stiffer than stock and yes a little noisier. I picked the Tanabe springs over coil because i just wanted to drop like 1 inch and stayed in the sweet spot of the suspension to avoid any unexpected issue and getting coil for 1 inche drop is a totally waste..

Last night, I bought my first things for my car. A cassette adapter, a light up air freshener, and blue valve caps!
