It's not BAD, but it's a mod I wish I hadn't done.

Thanks for the tip about re-app with vinyl. I may go that route sometime.

Oh, my first performance exhaust was a Magnaflow. Nice exhaust, but a bit of drone. Went to Fujitsubo Legalis R. Best exhaust ever (for me)!
The NFRs have a red-tinted clearcoat, if I remember correctly.

I agree! I just installed my springs and I felt the same way about them. If the rears were just a touch higher it would look amazing. I also wish I would have installed some koni yellows with my springs instead of sitting on stock shocks. Now I am too lazy to do the whole process all over again. So thats one thing I regret. I wish I would of done my entire suspension all at once.

Dude I have the same S as you and look at my picture. I might have something to do with the struts that its on. I dunno. Maybe preload them again.



Edit: I know its not the best picture, but Im on OEM Struts w/ Espelirs.

I don't think I have a mod on the car that I hate. But looking back, I probably shouldn't have done the Exedy Hyper Single. Reasons being that my car only had 27k...so the stock clutch was fine, although, it did have the buzz. Leaving it alone would have saved me $1400!!

Plus, now I'm really annoyed by having to have my car serviced. I do all my own services except for things I can't do. Like alignments and things that need special machines. I hate letting anyone drive it because they kill the car like 10 times trying to pull it anywhere...and then they unwittely abuse it trying to get it onto the rack.

It's still hella fun as a track clutch, though. The engine revs up FAST.
