The XM tuner is behind the glove box and I ran the antenna up to the dash right against the glass on the passenger side.

The girl is a very good friend of mine and we were at a local gathering at my buddies shop.

Wow those are awesome cars and a beautiful detailer! Hard to follow that but here's the silver bullet last Tuesday at PITT Raceway. Note Clear Corner side markers were removed per VA regs but all are LED's.

Thank you Lex,
Roof - Carbon Fiber vinyl wrap. So if I change my taste, easy to remove.
Wheels - BBS LM @ ~21#

Mr. Mark, I think you scared all the other mods from posting. Like being a card trick act following Frank Sinatra.

Here's a simple mod that I enjoy.

You show a lot of creativity and taste in the mod selection so more the power to you. I like you front bumper better than the Artisan which I was considering but like you say a bit too angular and square. Keep on keeping on.

MrMark:

You don't run a sprint booster?
Also, what does the • Megan Racing Downpipe do? Is that the Y-Pipe?

No booster....didn't think about that.

The downpipe is a Y pipe and I changed it out since I was installing headers, cats, exhaust, and intake. I wanted to make all the changes from intake to the rear exhaust which is a mistake many make by only doing one or two mods.

How much of the spacers you have to use and what brand? I like them, don't stick out too much, just right!!

NovaRider, I have a set of 30mm Black Anodized Akata Bolt On Spacers for sale in the classifieds section. Akata is a division of Vossen Wheels, great quality and dependable.They were perfect for the OEM rear wheels (or any wheels that are close to OEM specs) and didn't stick out past the wheel well but definitely made the stance more aggressive. I got lots of compliments. I highly recommend bolt on vs slide on. If you're interested shoot me a PM.
