1. Oil change
2. Installed Berk HFC Front Pipe - Nice little oomph in the torque dip now. It also feels easier to get the car going. Surprised the car didn't get any louder with the stock exhaust.

3. A while back installed AE OEM replica diffuser.

I ran my car with those tires last year with 2 - 50lb bags of sand in the trunk. I was shocked at how well they performed for the price. Only issue I ever had was with ground clearance.

Cleaned off the clearcoat left by my neighbor's car door that gave me a tiny ding. Not super happy, but it's nothing that can't be buffed out and isn't that noticeable. Probably not worth a visit from a PDR guy either. I'll get it fixed when I get detailed in the spring.

Milestone reached today:

Depreciated cost of car, roughly $20k (25k miles, 2013 SWP Limited)
Cost of mods: $20267 (and counting)

Worst part? Engine is still stock.

I hear you, I'm in the same boat. It's a vicious cycle

Hm... Makes me wonder what my depreciation is at 48k miles? Black 2013 Limited. Tons of cosmetic mods.

First engine mod:

You could get there with body kits and painting alone. Then there's exhaust, seats, suspension, wheels, taillights. I feel like my car doesn't look like much, but I have about $10k in parts invested in it. *shrug* Of course... some parts still haven't made it onto the car...

Just did the shifter surround, not bad.

Grip your fingers underneathe the inside of the shift boot and pull upwards, near the front left or front right.

There are 4 philips that hold on the shift boot. Don't let them fall. unless you have a magnet. Detach the cable that connects the traction control buttons. Once the piece is off, you can remove the traction buttons.

I just did the vent circles, though I may take them back off. Not sure if I like it yet.
