Plus the body roll was reduced significantly.

Thanks man.

Yeah the HID are pretty easy. With this car the bulbs are the same size as the headlights, and everything is plug-and-play. Very easy install. The catch is that if you want to do the fogs, you'll most likely have to take the front bumper off for workable space. It's possible without doing it, but it'll be very cramped.

Wiring is easy as it's all plug-and-play, and you can ziptie the ballasts to anything secure. Just make sure they won't fall or hit something.

BIG update!

I got the exhaust installed! It sounds great!



lol, I'm kidding.

But yeah, it is on and it sounds amazing. Not too loud but still has an amazing deep tone that can be heard at any rpm. I wouldn't want any other (axle-back) exhaust. And no more ugly ___ stock muffler!



I also made a comparison video -


And part #2, the head unit, was also put in -



This thing is awesome. It has everything you could ever want and more. Plus it sounds 100x better than the stock HU. Also, touch screens.

Up next: I don't even know. I'll be out of town for a couple weeks so nothing during that time. After that, maybe I can get something cheaper, like, interior lighting.

On my setup they don't because if I were to get the module it would've doubled the price of installation. You can still get a module and get the controls working. I'll probably do that in the future.

Hi!
You can get the metra axxess and install it yourself. A bit delay in response but it works perfect for me.

Thanks man. Yeah, I'm on S-Techs. Ride quality is still good and the handling is AWESOME, but the tire wear kinda sucks. You can get an alignment but I hear our rear camber is not adjustable so we have to deal with camber wear on the tires.

Yeah I've been looking at that one, I will get it when I get sick of not being able to use the steering wheel controls.

Hey bluefin, where did you get the Tsudo S2? I'm thinking of buying from ERZ performance but haven't deal with them before.

Default Update!

So I've been really busy these past few weeks with my new job so not too much has happened with the car. But now that I have myself a routine (and weekends off :D ), the car stuff can continue! I'm not too sure what's next but I got a pretty fat first paycheck and I just happened to see a guy selling some Work XD9's, maybe, just maybe.

But tonight I tried something a little different. I bought some clear Plast Dip and sprayed my taillights to go for that "frosted" look that I have seen on a few cars and only one other tC. This way I knew it'd be unique.

I think it turned out great -







I've also got a new can of (black) Plasti Dip and some header paint and have a few ideas, I'll keep you guys posted about that.
