Any burning issues with the bumper? The N1 on my STi was my favorite but I know the tip was super close to the bumper. Clearance pretty good?

Install was very easy. I was able to do the whole thing in my garage alone.

I voted no on turbo and void warranty, cause that would make your FRS too awesome and we simply can't have that. although seriously I just say that cause if it is your only means of transportation it could be a hassle if it has issues and if something breaks then it comes out of pocket. although your warranty wouldn't be void on everything fyi.

keep it up bro car is looking sick....drop it already! smoking deal on Cusco!

Haha don't be jealous man! It's inevitable though, my car will be "The One" in Vegas only thing to decide on now is AVO, Vortech, or Innovative. Interesting bit about the warranty there.......

Thanks for the compliments though and have no fear it will be dropped eventually. I just wanna get all the pieces together that way I can roll it into my garage and roll it out a whole new beast that is "Unleashed"

*Update*
Gotta say I really love this car and have enjoyed every moment of driving it. Never a dull moment.

For those of you that feel the car is under powered I strongly urge you to get atleast a stage 1 tune, whether it's from Visconti (my preferred tuner) or any other company out there offering a tune. While the tune doesn't add much power, 10-13whp, it truly makes proper use of the existing power. The car is more responsive, has more grunt, and far better acceleration and smoothness of power delivery.

Around town is where you will notice the biggest difference in the car, as most of us aren't flooring it everywhere around town and are constantly in that annoying torque dip range. The stage 1 tune makes the dip far less noticeable and far less annoying. Oh and the noise the engine makes once you hit 4k RPM's is just pure sexy. You can't help but keep your foot in it coming around onramps and powering onto the highway.

As far as my suspension upgrades go, I gotta say I am still loving them. The power braces really give me additional confidence when entering and exiting a corner. The car as a whole feels solid and connected to the road. I can't wait to get sway bars, bushings, and coilovers; the car is going to be an animal then.
