[tennisfreak]

As I posted in another thread:

1. Pulley kit
2. CAI

The others I'm fine with:
1. SARD Seat Covers
2. Wheels
3. Helix clear side markers
4. Raceseng shift knob
5. Perrin catback
6. Rear diffuser/valence
7. Badge removal and 86 center console plaque
8. Window tint

Wheels for sure. Wish I had gone with 17s instead of 18s. My mood on this changes almost daily though so i probably would have regretted any decision I went with

Tires!! lol they're too damn meaty, i should have gone with 245/40 instead of 255/40 and these damn nittos dont make it any better. Posting pics would make this a bit more amusing. Slighhhttly, the wheels.. im still going for RPF1s though.

Nothing. Stockity stocky stock. Stockalicious stockage. Stockaroonie.


...so far. Hmmm...

I would have gone for the Visual Garage Shark Fin instead of the BeatSonic because it has a cleaner look. Functionally, there is nothing wrong with the BeatSonic and I still like it over the RC Car look and BeatSonic shipping was quick and painless.

I recall seeing a lip spoiler so is it "stock"????
Still never received an opinion on if dealer added parts still qualify as "stock" from anybody!

Oh, well there is that. I bought the car used with 1800 miles. Thought that was a dealer option. There's also the OEM mudflaps but I didn't drill holes into the wheel well fender liner thingys.

It had some ugly-assed look-at-me shiny aluminum wheels. I asked them to swap with a stock set from another car.

Eventually caved and bought the Wedssports anyway. I'll probably end up losing a good amount selling near mint-condition TSWs for half price. Or maybe I'll just keep them as spare track wheels.

Lesson learned though, go with your gut the first time around.

You could sell them to me

FX400 clutch with full ceramic face.

Bought it in a moment of panic when I thought I burned up my clutch and needed to fix my car that weekend. It ended being unnecessary because my OEM clutch was fine (it was just my release baring that was melted!), and I never even installed it.

But even if I had needed a new clutch, FX400 is massive overkill for stock. Now it has to sit around until I go FI (and it'd probably still be overkill then) or try to sell/trade it here.

Everything else I don't regret:

Tint, spacers, floormats, inlet tube, TRD panel filter, TRD exhaust. I'm very happy with all of that.

Hah I'd probably try to sell them locally to save on shipping cost, but I do like helping out forum members so I'll let you know if that changes.

I kinda like it. I'm sure they don't do you any favors on weight though.

Its the drop that hurts as they rub the inner fender if its too low. The Rotas help, they're very light.

Greddy SP Elite = received it with a broken baffle. I ate the shipping on that 1 sending it back. Never really got to experience that 1 because it buzzed so much about 1400rpm.

Muffler delete test pipe: Just ear ringlingly loud (to me). Nothing wrong with it, but I could only handle it for like 3 weeks.

The SP Elite actually sounds pretty good to me.
I'm 31, so I can't go around with a loud or droning exhaust - the SP makes the car sound great (to my ears) without being excessive.
Paired with the Injen intake (more for acoustic enjoyment than power), and there's a throaty roar as low as 2,500rpm if I floor it.

Too bad you didn't get to try it on for size... On the plus side, I'm sure there will be a steady supply of used SP Elites (people might opt for a full catback)

Which reminds me: Not long after I paid for my SP Elite from a shop in town, a vendor on here actually gave me a chance to buy the same exhaust for about $100 less. Don't regret the exhaust, but the penny pincher in me regrets paying so soon - just a couple days was the difference.

If I had $750 to spend on a catback it would be on the SP catback that's for sure. I'll probably just get a custom single exit built at the shop that fixed the Top Speed though. Super reputable and they make stuff basically at cost. I don't trust outside vendors and YouTube videos for sound anymore. But, that's just my opinion from experience.
