Thanks! Well the good thing about having the color you have is that you can find the color that goes best with it, or your favorite color and do the same thing!

So I was thinking.. I have a Thrush performance muffler from my old car that I had, and it made the car sound really nice. I was wondering on peoples thoughts. What do you guys honestly think of the Thrush muffler? Crap? Or decent enough to go with if I already have on kickin' around?

Is your spoiler clear coated? It looks very matte / satin to me.

I was skeptical about the VVT-I decal aswell, which is why I got the green. Its very subtle and hard to see unless it has good sun or light on it. I plan on tinting, but not dropping. I dont have a care for lowering the car IMO, BUT if someday I get all of my more important mods done first, and if I can find a good price for a good deal on springs then sure i'll do it.

I actually want to lower the car but parents still wont let me and its too much work trying to convince them so Im just going to wait until I go off to college and do it when Im far away and if i come back down to visit them....they wouldn't notice Ill do all the other mods first

i was the same way at first, then the wheel gap started driving me nuts, plus the handling improvement.
