You're also assuming additional details that the OP never mentioned. Let's re-read his post:

"Went something like this this rainy morning:
“Hello, unfortunately we left the windows down in your car and it’s filled with water. We sent it out to be detailed. Very sorry.”"

There's no pertinent information regarding amount of time that passed from the rain's start nor the duration that the water sat inside the car. They also said "filled with water" - which doesn't sound like it was just an hour of weak drizzling that lightly misted the floor's carpets.

Frankly I don't understand why you're pulling the "it's just a little water, ya *****" act and dying on a hill about this. It's simply incorrect to say "Suck it out with a vacuum leave the windows down for a couple of hours and bingo as good as new." - no, it's not "good as new", not by a long shot.

How dare you question the allknowingness of the King Poster...beg for forgiveness!

Well this week I got a set of HKS GT-spec catted headers installed on my car and an Ecutek custom Dyno tune. Very happy with the result, an extra 11.4kW at the wheels (15hp, standard amount I guess). But the best thing is the low down torque, more so than expected. It just pulls a lot harder, the power delivery is a lot more linear too.

1st dyno pic are “stock” (Mishimoto inlet tube and STI axle back exhaust) runs.

2nd dyno pic is with the HKS header installed and a BMC drop in air filter comparing it to stock.

If you’re sitting on the fence about getting a header and tune, I’d recommend it.

Got some photos of my new wheels and coilovers. In love with the car again just like when I drove it for the first time.

Took the summers out. Used the long reach low profile jack for the first time and loved it. Also, used the Autel TS508 for the Position learn and it was done in 30 seconds.

A local shop and one of the chain tire shop quoted me around $200 for this swap. Unbelievable!

That’s true! I know them and they are very nice people. They offered me their spot whenever I need it. I just take my time and enjoy it slowly
