I heard about you and your undertray farhan lol someone described it as a grenade when off under you car or something hahah
Here is where i got my undertray from i havent insstalled it yet so i cant tell you how the fitment is but i called them to make sure it did and they said yes. also it looks like the prices went up again i managed to snag mine for 50$
This is for non X models

these are not OEM undertrays they are aftermarket ones only reason why i got one was because they are way cheaper but since prices went back up i dunno choice is up to you!
hope this helps!

I know right good thing a quick search on the forums saved alot of money on new tires in the future 
i read over alot of threads about the BC coilovers before buying them and people have said that they have survived winters with them i havent read anything about them seizing or blowing out yet so i decided to go with them instead of cheaper alternatives. where i go to school i dont really get out much except for the weekends so i m not really worried about driving the G alot and if it really snows around here there are plenty of people who lend their cars out its the system that we have here! freshman and sophomores arnt allowed to have cars so they borrow from upperclassmen (of course the G will never be lent out) so i ll just borrow another car and keep the G safely stored away. surprisingly for how much snow we get here CO roads are pretty good!
SPC camber kits ordered from THM Motor sports - great customer service ordered and shipped out today! will be here before the weekend to be installed!

No prob!
^^ i second every thing he says here the R2C is top notch stuff you couldnt possibly go wrong with it. even with the price being higher than all the other short ram intakes it worth it. Go big or go home
Thank you!! t
he exhaust might be a while because if the weather gets worse then i dont know if its going to be worth having in the winter time i dont want it to get all beat up. But if i can come up with the money and the weather seems to hold a bit longer then maybe i might jump on this or if FI has a holiday sale or something!!! Yeah wasnt looking for something really loud i still want to be able to enjoy cruising! Thanks for the input
This weekend will be another busy one! List to do:
And now the long awaited picture updates (more to come after weekend!!)
I know the wheels are dirty i just wiped em down real fast for some pictures.
Big thanks to Matzo Ball Soup for the wheels!!!
And just a random pic because the sky was really pretty outside sorry crappy camera
I should mention that one of the reasons the R2C intakes are pricey is because of the quality and performance gains you receive (saw a dyno). Their air filters alone are on par if not better than the APEXi air filter (this could be debated, but I'm not here to argue with anyone. Just what I saw on the forums). Honestly what ever the price may be the design and quality speaks for itself. There are lots of intakes out there, but I believe this is definitely top notch and will be ordering one once all holidays are over with. Glad you are loving yours
just read everything and caught up on your work. So far looks good man. keep up the good work. When do you plan to get your exhaust? If you do, fast intentions is pretty good. I love the way it looks. Not too loud, not too soft. Unless you want loud then go with something else.

This is what i did to my engine bay. This picture is old and haven't updated my pix yet. I did more work in the past 7 months. I try to do most of it myself to save money. Maybe it will give you some ideas on what to do to yours. I am now starting to work in the interior of the car, but still working in the engine bay.

Yeah i wanted to to do the whole color match thing but i dont really have the time here at school. i love how neat and clean everything is! i dont see alot of 2nd gen engine bays... wish we had some polished parts and stuff like the 1st gen guys. But looks awesome!!! will be working on the engine bay slowly now that the wheels are done!
Thank you very much!
