You already know dude!

Did you really wash at a car wash? Perfect way to get scratches on these cars...be mindful

How do you do that! I hate 1-2 shifts...I have been driving a manual for years and this car is so hard to drive s smooth.

Yes I did, a hand wash with my own sponges. Be mindful.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one, this car made me feel like a noob all over again!

Yeh sponges just rub the dirt around on the paint...just giving you a heads up as a new owner, would suck for you to spend all that $ on the body work youre about to do and the current paint to be all marred.

Pretty sure there was no dirt left after a pressure wash.

Goodies arrived

Picked up my APR brake ducts yesterday and promptly got to installing

and broke them and chewed up my bumper pretty good. So that's cool.

I don't know if I had a bad pair or just didn't know what the fuck I was doing. I installed just as the directions said but there was so much pressure and tension on them and trying to remove them broke 3 of the 4 studs as well as tore up the bumper. Pretty pissed about it still but I am gonna see about getting them replaced, and some touch up paint should hide whatever the APR pieces don't cover themselves.

I unfortunately won't be installing the KWs until I get the wheels and start installing the RB kit as I don't want to deal with the alignment twice and height adjustment twice.
