I don't know what you mean, sorry. But my tuner is doing a 4 lug conversion and can tune it so it looks good.

Its happening, customizing has become a way of life.

oh and dont forget about how crappy the stereo is

and then after that you'll need a tune.

then boost will start knocking on your door tempting you to buy in.

Shit... I haven't looked at any of that and I'm already 3K in the hole as far as mods go...

(a cheap $200 powered sub does wonders to the stereo!)

See, that's how it starts. Reasonable rationalization. Next you'll say" wow those tires made a big difference". "Wonder what better brakes would do". "Maybe just a couple suspension mods". "Ya, know bet a slight horsepower bump......" DOOM!

I knew before I bought the car that it would be costly. In less than two months of ownership, I've spent nearly $5k

I still have nightmares about what I spent on my R33 Vspec GTR... 6 figures including purchase price.

Congratulations on the car! I just got mine 2 weeks ago and am loving it.

Why did you end up with 18% tint instead of the 20% or 15%? Personally, I have 15%.
