Thank you, they give off the appearance my car is lower than it is and cheap enough to not care if something happens to them. Yes they are custom made, did the striping myself.

Thanks to MartyMotoring for visiting San Diego just to shoot my car... well not really but nice meeting you and love the video you made with my car.


Also, stay tuned for (finally) some new additions to the car. Many small things to come by the end of August.

Thanks for the driveby's.... real cars, real sounds! Granted the sound may not be for everyone but static dry humps (driveway revs) don't tell the story like an engine under load / no load decel does.

Anyone sharing an audio clip, do a driveby! Thx!

PS - moderator on a motorcycle 4uhm and sick of bikes pinned @ the RL w/ OP proud of it... It tells us nothing... k, done venting.
How about a ride along?

I'll do some new clips of rev/drive by/cruising/accel/deccel etc. Had the exhaust re done and the shop found the old one had unfinished welds, 2 in -2.5in - 2 in piping, and exhaust leaks everywhere. Now it's 2.25 and acceleration definitely feels more consistent now. Sound is cleaner too. Though the microphone pics up the slight raspy sound and amplifies it greatly....in person it's less raspy and more exotic sounding.

That SARD wing is sweet! I've always loved the two tier spoiler look. Now you 1000% need wheels cause your car is way to aggressive for these OEMs

Yup, sold the 19s so needed something to roll on until then lol. Ended up throwing away the OEM X package wheels cause no one wanted it for $100 or even free.... and I needed them gone within a week... kinda sad about that haha.

Of course you had to install like one of my favorite sets of Gramlights!
