Great shot, Mike! Your car looks amazing in this pic, as all of your accent items really pop at night.
Did you tint your rear tail-lights, or do they just look darker because of the photo?

Need your opinion on something guys..I heard a loud metal clanking noise at high speeds. It lasted for 6 seconds and went away. It kept doing it randomly.
Pulled C1109 BATTERY VOLTAGE ABNORMAL
P1550 BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR - NO SIGNAL
It seems like my ABS modules is getting lower than expected power. Why would I be hearing a loud clank? It's pouring, haven't gotten a chance to take a look at the ABS assembly.

Not sure if this is your issue or not, but had had a similar noise start on my car a few months back. Seems to start and then stop, but almost seemed like it was making the noise with the rotation of the tire. It was definitely coming from my RF tire, so I removed that wheel and found that my SST brake line had come loose from it's mounting point and was whacking against the inner TPMS sensor on my aftermarket wheels. This could have been devastating if it had ripped the TPMS sensor off and the tire had gone flat at speed or worse even the brake line had torn and I would have lost my brakes. Just something to look for once it stop pouring down rain on you...

Congrautilations on the purchase! You will be surprised how different your exhaust is going to sound on a 6MT! If you're a bit turned off about the clutch, pick up the RJM clutch pedal.

Well, according to his parting comment, he's spending today swapping parts from his 2010 to this 6MT. And that's a whole lot of stuff. Kind of fascinating, really. Moving intake, exhaust and suspension components, essentially turning his old car back to stock(ish).
He's got a mod list that should take a LOT more than one weekend to complete the swap. A Stillen Gen3, Motordyne ART pipes, Stillen cat-back, taillights, a box load of engine bling, camber arms, swaybars, lowering springs, and on and on...
