OK, some photos of the wheels without the stupid chrome center caps, and with the new blue Muteki lug nuts. We weren't sure if we'd like the blue and only grabbed them because they were immediately available since I lost the key to our original locking black Mutekis. Color me stupid.

We actually like the blue lugs - they're subtle because they sit deep in the rim enough that it's not super ricey. One of our goals with the car is for the casual observer (non-car folken) to think it might have come from the factory as it is. Or at the very least to keep it looking classy and upscale (nevermind the big white racing numbers on the driver's side, LoL . They'll come back off after the next track day).









We added the Berk Dual Tip Muffler Delete to give her the voice she deserves. It also filled in those huge diffuser cutouts, so @humfrz should be happy with us now.

Rexpeed Blue wide angle mirrors, Grimmspeed hood struts. Supertek shorty antenna. They are nice little additions that I think help clean up the car before the big purchases start happening.

Tonight I will be putting in some new Diode Dynamics white LEDs for my clear side markers and my FT-86 passenger side exahust cover.

I intentionally withheld any info on these to see what comments they might get without you knowing what they are.



Since no one has replied "those suck!" yet, I guess I can tell you that they are Pilot Automotive PM-552WK tips for $12.96/ea. from Wal-Mart! I was walking down the automotive aisle when I spied them. For the price, I'm happy.



$30 and up everywhere else I've seen them: http://www.wheelskin.com/pm-552wk.html

the car should have came with nice exhaust tips from the factory regardless of oem exhaust peformance

the tips really look nice fills in the gap too
and yes I know the car is built to budget for us guys "affordable entry level sports car" but still nicer exhaust tips from the factory shouldn't cost that much for production budget....

i have exact same sound on my car. it goes away after warm up. I think is not the engine, the sound comes under the car, where is the driveshaft.. but my car do not have this sound every day... maybe 7 times in 2 years, so is hard to prove the point at the dealer!..

sorry for my english skills loll

In the threads on this forum about the Shorei lightweight battery, another user reported noticing better steering response .
I noticed it also.

As soon as I did extremely sudden lane changes I was surprised to immediately notice less body roll.

I have heavy duty sway bars and strut braces.
