As far as ECU tuning what is my best route, I had read where there is a tablet based program and I'm guessing you have to get a dongle somewhere or I guess a program for your laptop, which I run Mac. Are the benefits really worth the cost here?

Yeah. I got it and it looks great. Costly though. 1325 for bumper, full hood, full fenders, mirrors, and top of rear bumper near trunk base. Worth it though.

Congrats and welcome. My #1 vote as usual is clear side markers. Cheap upgrade and does so much for the car

Definitely agree with the clear side markers too. Did you put LEDs in yours?

If your car is still under warranty, try to do mods that won't void it first. Not paying for maintenance and service is a great feeling.

What's wrong with removing 1 cat? :'(

If they don't have a playmate they get grumpy and tend to antagonize the owner.

Hey welcome, my family's from (kinda) Kennesaw, GA. I drive around there when I'm visiting my parents. They live by 41 and Mars hill.
