No troubles at all shifts so nice and really easy. I learned on a tc and that one is tricky to me. Not sure on the pulley we will see.

Looks good , tint is highly recommended for this 100 degree heat. Watch out for the condensation in the taillights with all these random bits of rain were getting, going to have to take mine in for a new taillight here soon.

So far mine have been leak free!! I even washed it today and no troubles. :-) do hopefully all is well. I don't seem to have trunk gap either, maybe production line made adjustments. :-)

And yeah the heat is brutal!! Ugh. I'd do tint if i could but money's depleted for the month so next month it is . :-(

Well not much of an update but first real wash and wax. :-)
Have a shift knob and shark-fin antenna coming this week though.





So far my only "mods" :-P





And after the shift knob n fin get here that's prolly it for a while. Getting laid off sucks!

Damn that's a nice color, that was my second or third choice, I was torn between firestorm and ultramarine. It looks so classy. Congrats dude, use that best like a g6.

Small update. My shift knob from WC Lathe Werks came in and so did my shark-fin antenna.

The knob is a beautiful piece of machining!








Came with instructions and an allen wrench for adjustment



Its a taller know than the stock one and at first i was like hmmmmmmmmm.... but after getting used to it and driving I like it better it feels real nice and has a nice weight and for some reason sitting a littler higher has help me find each gear easier? Seems strange but there it is....

Installed
