Mod list:

Hoen fog lights
Illuminated kick plates
Midnight grill
Lowered on swift springs
Coupe 19's powder coated and wrapped in BFG KDW's
Topspeed exhaust
Rear valence overlay
Daytime running lights (Never intended to use them, but they flowed so well)
50% tint all around
Rear lip spoiler
Interior led conversion
Led plate lights and parking lights

Probably some other small stuff I can't think of right now.


















Towing a trailer!
Haha love the trailer pic. Car looks great, I like when mods look like factory upgrades, not over the top.

Update:

I installed the grounding kit today. I'm delightfully surprised to be saying that they work! Maybe its due to the ECU reset (although i've done this a bunch of times now), but shifts feel much better. It seems to engage faster and more seemless. Who knows maybe its in my head, but for a $25 DIY who cares. Even if its just mental its worth the price of admission.

Nice to hear, might be worth a look. There sure is a lot of good feedback from this mod, too much to ignore really

Keep in mind the latest run of the TopSpeed exhausts are back to the good rolled tips, as long as they confirm it's the rolled tips you'll be good to go. Mine are the old nice tips, click on "my garage" for pics. The sound is great too
Here's a thread w/ better pics of the good tips, just scroll down a few posts

Yeah it really is shifting nice, and the radio does seen to go a little louder now. For a diy'er, like yourself, I'd say it's a no brainier. Worst case scenario you spent $25 on some engine bling.

Thanks. Yeah if you look at my pics and blnewt's pic you will see the tips are thick double walled at the ends, whereas the problem ones are single walled and very thin. I don't find my exhaust overly loud. It's actually pretty quiet until you really get on it.

Here's the original TopSpeed thread, my pics start at post 64, I've got some sound clips including the cabin after the pics, maybe page 7?

Agreed^ I feel the exhaust tone is just about perfect for a sedan, not too loud but certainly a good deep tone, and really opens up well as the rpms climb. It's a nice difference from OEM or the quieter Tenabe, you'll know it's there, but in a good way

OP any luck with this? I might be doing this as well with my topspeed so I wanted to see how yours fared

Sorry Rocket I have not had a chance to mess with it yet (good intentions derailed by life), but I am certain it will work as others have had good luck bending the hangers.
