So I did get mine on Thursday after I got back from vacation Longhorn. I think I have put a little over 100 miles on it so far, and I've setup an appointment to have Formula One Pinnacle tint installed on Monday.

Where is that Xpel place located?

Nice! They're right across from the quarry on sunset road off 281.

After some confusion on my part, my Grimmspeed license plate relocation kit is finally installed on the car. I'm now fully legal with regards to the front plate, but I'm not sure I'm 100% sold on the look. It may end up being something I only use for road trips, but I'll leave it on there for now to see if it grows on me.

(Yes my license plate ends in 86, just by random chance too)

The thing is a blast! Love the car for sure, although it could use a couple more horses to be honest. I don't think it needs anything crazy but it leaves me wanting just a tiny bit more when I'm rowing through the gears merging onto a freeway.

Lighter wheels, TRD air filter, an intake, and maybe a light exhaust from Nameless Performance might give you 10+hp

AND PLENTY OF STICKERS

After the stickers I was thinking of some cross drilled brake lines and possibly an adjustable powerband...but we'll have to wait and see.

In all honesty if the AP exhaust kits get out to the general public and there are some independent dyno numbers to support what has been posted in the engines section so far I'd probably jump on that.

If this car can get to 220hp with simple bolt ons and maybe an ECU flash, I think we can see 280 with some serious mods and some happy customers?

Well I guess it couldn't stay perfect forever! These are from a couple of weeks ago. The scrape under the nose is from coming out of a parking lot a bit too quickly and the side scrape is from cutting a little too close to the curb pulling into my parking garage. I had to get down on the ground to get pictures of both of them so you can't see them from just looking at the car which is nice. Still kind of a bummer though.
