Very nice so far. Looks clean!! Any plans for lowering? Also, what are the specs on your wheels (widths, offsets)?

Maybe I'll see you rolling around Westchester!!!

Wheels are square set up 19" 8.5" wide. on 245/40 tires. Lowering will happen next summer, not sure to go with coils or air management

I hang around in Westchester on some weekends. Have a few friends up there and we'll usually meet up, drive around, then head north.

Nice setup with the wheels/tires. It will really come together when you lower it. I had originally wanted air on my EX, but I decided to go with coils instead because I drive it daily. If/when I get a dedicated weekend warrior, I'll put it on air.

I spoke to a distributor for Airlift Performance and they said the system would be suitable for daily driver use and winter seasons. Any feedback on this?

Knowing a few people who drive their cars daily on air, it was just not something that I wanted to do. NYC streets can be harsh and although I'm not a worry-wart, I am not comfortable attempting to fix any issues with that system (yet). Coilovers...fine. I'd be able to remove the coilovers and put the stocks back on if something needed to be fixed/sent to Broadway Statics. For me, I guess it's just a matter of accessibility and comfortability (regarding removal and/or repair).

I was going to get a custom setup with Hardlines by Swoops. Met him and everything was a go. Then talked to him some more and decided I did not want air, so now we're going with Broadway Statics

When I was going with air, we were going to go with an Accuair E-level system on a special mounting board (with cover), so that I could literally slide the unit forward (with the seats down) or put stuff directly on top of it if needed.

He does great work and as soon as I'm done moving, I'm going to have him start working on my custom radiator cooling plate also (since there are no aftermarket ones readily available).

By chance, have you seen the JP steering wheel cover? It may prove to be a nice addition to the neck pads and belt cushions.

I was going to get the steering wheel cover but then I bought a thicker steering wheel, so there went that idea. Lol

wow I like that. Good call. Is it thick like the wheel covers at Walmart you think? I'm going to order my Knot thing too. Everything comes from China so it takes 1 month or so to deliver

If you're on ebay, check out the seller vbparts4. Based in Texas and sells authentic. I think the cover is about $70

Not sure about the thickness, but it looks pretty "standard" for a cover...if that makes sense

Installed my Stillen Splitter this weekend! Notes: Fitment is not 100%. Had to modify the splitter a little but it looks pretty nice IMO.

R2C intakes come today!

the stillen splitter was short about 1/2" on the passenger side, I had to saw off a small portion of the plastic for it to sit flush

I installed my R2C intakes this weekend. Huge power increase and car has a deeper growl.
