new owner pics

I wanted to share my new (two week old) pride and joy with everyone.

Modifications have already been made (besides window tint) thanks to Stephen @ Imagine Auto. I have added the Stage IV kit and Techart springs. Here are some of the latest pictures (please excuse my poor photography)

Hey Brett, looks great! You didn't waste much time to start modding! How is the ride with the springs?

the ride isn't that much different, slightly stiffer. I haven't had any scraping issues, the lower height hasn't affected me in the areas I drive so I am happy.

the exhuast (Fabspeed) is just right. You were accurate on the sound Chris. You can barely notice the difference when it's on the highway.

while I waited on the car to arrive, I was bent on changing the wheels. Once I got it, I realized the wheels looked really good on a black car, better so than other colors.

I like the angle of the 4th pic as well...

I don't know for sure what the tint is, but I'm thinking 40%.

car looks great, but makes me wonder if I should get the side skirts painted body color (I'm ordering a TT cab). In your pics they almost look gray? What do you think.

Beautiful turbo, Brett!

Your tint looks just about right IMO. The TA springs do a nice job of getting rid of some of that excess space in the wheel wells. Glad to hear no scraping.

You've got a great set-up with the Fabspeed and GIAC combo.

Question: are the headers worth it for power gain, lag reduction ?


Enjoy your car, but be sure to wash it weekly!

Ken
