WOW, that is absolutely gorgeous. Great taste in mods. Is that a Greddy Ti exhaust? Sard wing? Are you running headers?

Thanks! Yes that's the Greddy Ti exhaust and Sard wing. I am running PPE headers. I used to own an 09 USB IS F, and transferred over my power mods to my 14 matador.

Thank you! No spacers, just slightly wider Michelin 4s's at 245 up front and 275 in the rear.

Thank you Frank. Awesome car, great taste.
So catless then? How is it as far as loudness and drone?

The car is loud and beastly when you step on it... cruising speed is very manageable. There is a slight drone at 1,900 rpm.

I feel like the mica paint is very soft and weak. I have a bunch of chips in the paint on my hood and bumper, and some bird poo just ate some clearcoat on my trunk. Is it just me, or do you guys / gals think this paint is as solid as any other maker?

Not sure about the paint quality, but I have plenty of chips and the bugs ate my clear coat on my hood.
