I am not trying to hate. I was just relaying the info that happend to my friend. I too am sorry to the O.P. I think we are getting out of hand here.
As for the question about the security bolts, yes they were purchased from McGard. A gentleman there by the name of Rick Glass informed me that the order minimum is only $200 and you can mix and match to an extent. Yes my friend placed a sizable order, as he was trying to cover three cars and a boat. But he told me that everything he ordered including wheel locks was under $450.
The socket that was found does not actually have any logo on it so I am unsure of its exact brand. But I can tell you that it was 1/4 inch drive making it there smaller of the bunch. If they didn't use that, then what did they use?
P.s. If you wish to continue this debate, lets be mindful of the OP and take this to another tread or through PM.I am sorry for causing such a ruckus and I do hope that you don't take any of this as a personal attack. I am sure you are a fine vendor with a good product.

Type R shift boot (requires some slight modification), cost about 50.00 bucks and looks better than the OEM boot IMO.
Radiator cap (Buddy Club/Spoon/Mugen/ARC/etc.)
Oil caps (Spoon/Mugen V1 and V2/etc.)
Broadway Rearview Mirror
Most have probably already been mentioned but I did not want to look through al the pages to see whats been said and what hasn't

thanx all so much for all the ideas. Today I managed to purchase a mugen front splitter for $150 from a guy who's been trying to sell his mugen on our local forum. He kept dropping the price and it stayed at $250 for quite a bit of time until he finally reduced it to $150 because he's going back to Korea on 18th, so I went to pick it up immediately. It's rio yellow so I will repaint it to NFR and that should also solve the scratches underneath (even though there'll be plenty after a while again). I think it's a pretty nice deal
Btw anyone can give me an approx cost for painting the splitter and installing?

I've got my beeper shoved up under the dash somewhere, but it's been so long since the install I can't remember where exactly. In addition to the beeper that comes with the unit I installed a 130dB alarm beeper that is activated by the "Valet Function." You put the beeper in valet mode and it goes of constantly any time the engine speed exceeds a preset value (that you select). My alarm beeper is so loud and so irritating that nobody could stand to drive the car above the limit I have set (5k), plus, if anyone exceeds 5k after I've told them not to exceed 4.5k, the alarm will quite literally scare the crap out of them. It's a way to ensure that your mechanic, tire or alignment man, or dealer, doesn't take your car out and run the crap out of it.
There is also a high RPM memory that will tell you how much you over reved if you throw a potential money shift, and by resetting the memory when you drop the car off somewhere, you have a record of how high the engine was reved when the car was out of your hands.
You can also use some of the beeper features for other functions, like gating a nitrous setup (which Modifry himself ran for a while before going FI).
Check out Modifry's Web site and read up on all the features. It's really a very cool mod.
On thing you may not hear about elsewhere is the way the beeper helps when autocrossing. Obviously it allows you to keep your eyes on the course rather than worrying about the tack, but more importantly, the thing beeps at different points on the course, giving you a form of feedback to compare runs. For example, if I get two beeps at the end of a first gear straight on one run, and three on the next, I know I'm getting more speed at the end of that straight. I also count the beeps to help me judge breaking points. It gives you a reference to where you are in comparison to previous runs, in terms of engine speed, something that would normally requre looking at the tack almost constantly.
Hahaha, and the first time the beeper goes off most people slow down quickly, because they forget about it and think it's their radar detector going off.

Valets were probably in for a suprise.
