really love what you done with it! clean upgrades on an amazing lookign car, very well kept.

Additionally, tell me more about your Iphone integration. I was told text would not display on a Gen2/3 Navi systems. How was the installation, and what unit did you use? Very interested in installing this in my 02 GS.

No sound clip but I will done it

All the rest of the exhaust is OEM. I have just bought the "Megan racing" resonators (SC430) for a test.

what did you use to refinish the wheel? are some brands better for automotive because of the temperature? also how much does a good wheel cost? are they hard to find?
