First Mod...Finally!

After 6 months of ownership, I am finally doing my first mod. :D

I ordered the REVi intake and even did 2 day shipping for the extra 20 bucks cuz I'm too excited. Good first mod? Thanks everyone for all the great help in finding out about this great intake.

Very necessary. Do a search on condensor. A few people have punctured the AC condensors.

Not to mention, while you have the nose off to do the intake, you might as well do the screens, makes life easy. You will be surprised at the amount of crap that gets collected under the nose of the car.

Now if RB will just release their Ram Air Intake!

Okay you've convinced me to order the screens. Another 90 dollars gone but it seems worth it so I won't have to dish out 400 later on.

I should be getting the REVi tomorrow however and I definitely don't have the patience to have it sitting in my house waiting for the screens to arrive days later. I've been seeing that removing the bumper is basically a 15 minute job after the first time, so I see no problem in simply removing it again when the screens arrive.

Looking forward to hearing that REVi purrrr...

Make sure you tape up the headlights when you mess with taking the front nose off, its really easy to scratch them when trying to put the nose back on.

REVi is good first mod, it will make the car sound so much meaner than stock.
