Only this remains (cracked paint), would like some tips on how to fix it

Unfortunately you're looking at a respray if you wanna get rid of that. It's under the clear coat.

I figured, oh well I will leave it be for now it's not very noticeable

aaaaahhh! my first real mod. EBC Yellowstuff pads. I'm only at 17k so the stock rotors are just fine for now.

Put about 100miles on them and sweet baby jesus these things bite hard. I don't have to use anywhere near as much force as I did with the stock pads.
A quick jab at the brake pedal engages ABS with these stock michelins. Definitely not worried about Deals Gap now...

I was a little nervous about being off center when cutting and placing the templates.

No turning back!

Today I think I somehow broke another Milltek resonated midpipe... was just driving down highway 1 down in Orange County when I noticed my car sounding a little funny on overrun. Sure enough, by the end of the day it sounded all farty on overrun / at idle just like it did when the last one broke.

I think Milltek's exhaust parts must just hate LA as much as I do... I rarely go down there (a few times a year, usually to go to the airport and back), and the last resonator cracked while on a trip down to LA as well. Guess it's just another thing to add to LA driving experience: traffic will be horrible, the road surfaces suck, road construction is everywhere, and bits of your car will spontaneously disintegrate...

Anyway, I'll see if I can put it on a lift tomorrow and verify that it's a cracked, but it sounds exactly like the first one did when it gave up the ghost so I'm not hopeful.

Mach V Jet Black reverse lockout knob and GrimmSpeed pulley cover with integrated tool tray. Jet Black against STI Duracon shift knob. Looks better in the dark. Haha

Got windshield replaced and they parked my car really close to the sidewalk. Mad cajones.

Thanks! It's a Catch 22: Front lip to protect your bumper, but bumper wouldn't be in as much danger if the front lip wasn't there. Then they make front lip guards to protect the front lip, so it amazes me how much more protected things need to be, but then it puts them more in harm's way. There's a parallel to society there somewhere, I'm sure of it.
