Well I just put my GReddy exhaust back on today deffinately sounds better instead of that stock whine. Ummm next up is to get some Enkei AKP black 18s:
Then I am gonna sell the Rims (Boss Motorsports Chrome 328 18s) that were on it look like this:
and then a mint blue style body kit followed by another SEIBON TS1 carbon hood probally a wet one asppose to the matte one I had. Another AEM CAI. An APR drag style carbon wing and get my clear corners back on there. Probably some other stuff too.
I will post pics of the car soon.

ha ha the 8 came with boss wheels on it?!?!? did you make fun of the person? sounds like a nice little list there.
strut bar came in yesterday, hopefully will get it painted and put on this weekend, but bad weather+ no garage does not look good for these plans

I know I dont care for them but I am sure some one might for the right price. I want to get rid of them so bad. they are almost 300 a piece brand new and put on the car less than 5000 miles ago. so pretty much brand new.

Just blacked out all my emblems today i think it fits the car a lot more since its not so flashy. I think im going to cancel my extended warranty after i go get a few things fixed on the car next week. Do you guys think i should get a compression text done on the car before i do this though just to see how strong the engine still is?
And other than all that stuff anyone want to try and get a meet going in late june early july maybe?

I Just heated them with a hairdryer and used a plastic card to get them off. As far as the actual paint i just sanded them down to mostly plastic used a couple of coats of primer 3 coats of black paint and 2 coats of clear coat. I probably could have wet sanded with like 1200 grit sandpaper to make them smoother. But they turned out really well in my opinion. Plus they look so much better.
