Crawford is a pretty big name and they know what they're doing so i trust them for the most part if anything starts to go wrong or i notice anything strange i will post on the forums. So far however so good.

Those ecoblocks are BS. The power blocks on the other hand are a SLIGHTLY different story. They do make some gains and shift the power up a bit, but that's about it.

I'd personally spend the money for a tune or spend a little more for a header and tune.

I also personally never understood buying a limited production/special edition car like this one and spending a bunch of money modifying it; but I can see the reasoning for it. The color alone is pretty rad and I'm not even a big fan of yellow. The car looks like it's off to a great start.

Around half of the people in this forum that comment on your build thread will probably bring some sort of negtive comments in it. Just the way it is here.

When there is nothing nice to say, make a post so everyone knows you have nothing nice to say.

Power blocks are definitely on my to do list just looking through the forums for pros and cons before i finalize. Thanks for the positive reinforcement.

I didn't know 19 year old college students making ends meet can afford a $30k sports car with a different mod going into it every few weeks. Props though, maybe you're not off as bad as you thought?

Ive always wanted this car ever since it first came out motivation is key to building an amazing car but then you have your main priorities first and hobbies second. I also used to be really into collecting sneakers and decided to sell my collection seeing that i dont wear 99% of them anyway and used that money for car mods. New passion and hobby foreseen lol.

yeah those side skirts are the only ones that flow with the Curve line from the back fender straight to the line of the wheel. The trd 1st edition is the same except that it goes up which i hate they did that because it ruined the lines.
