What are you lowered on? And how does it compare to stock?

They are the Eibach Pro-kit on stock shocks. The ride is quite a bit stiffer with a more pronounced return to 'floor' when you hit a bump, but stiffer overall around corners. Feels much more like a sport suspension. It'll do till I invest in coilovers.

I just tinted my windows today. I flipped my back seats forward so I could low-crawl in and out through the trunk to prevent bubbling if I opened the doors.

It might look real sketch but I'm not about to have some messed up tint.

I replaced the exhaust tips today with a set of Perrin tips.


They are kind of pricey, but very high quality.


Do you think they look too “rice” for a 70 year old driver … ??

Haha same here. I've already got my exhaust on order and the car probably won't even ship for almost two more weeks.

I thought about doing these, too, but I'm thinking of waiting it out, getting my tax return first, then doing an exhaust upgrade(s).

Those perrin tips are nice. Very pricey imo

I think for $180, I would've bought different tips that looks just as nice...

Well, but .... but .... they wouldn't have "Perrin" stamped on the sides of them ..... to impress those folks who would crawl around under the back of my car to check them out ....

Plus, I got these really neat "Perrin" stickers that I can put on ... put on....??

Tinted Windows.

They f'd up the paint my bumper by running up on the curb. Owner says he will fix it, supposed to call me Monday to schedule body shop work.

Tint job is not even that good either. Cuts not very clean (even though they said it was computer cut).

Worst day of owning my car so far.

That happened to me with my old lancer when the exhaust shop was welding my exhaust. They were taking it off the ramp and backed it into some jetta that was parked behind. They screwed up the paint but they paid for all the damages.
