I hit the magical number on the odometer today. 8686 miles!

Finished my first round of chemo and radiation last week. Actually felt good enough to get up, wash and wax her. Within 2 hours, it rained and a bird pooped on it. Man God must really hate me.

It should be v2, it's the FDA9 model. I think the v1 is really bubbly looking since it was actually for a different car from what I understand. I picked mine up from FT86 SpeedFactory and I don't think they have v1's anymore.

I was definitely surprised at how big the antenna was when I got it out of the box and thought it was going to look goofy because of the size, but it ended up being very nice once I set it on top of the car to make sure. Doesn't seem disproportionate once it's installed; I'm really happy with it. I think it looks especially nice if you have the Limited spoiler.

Yeah I was going to wait for the 2015 OEM fin antennas to become available, but then I remembered that they're changing the silver and I didn't want to deal with getting it paint-matched it myself. Didn't know the tips were going to be different too though, hmm...

Yeah I was looking at those as well. Really not a bad price, especially compared to the Perrin ones. That said, I decided to go cheap with DC Sport EX-1012's (stainless round slash-cut), only came out to $45 for a pair from Amazon. I'm thinking that I'm going to do a cat-back next year anyway so I didn't want to spend a bunch on tips that likely won't get re-used. The stock USDM tips are so silly looking with those huge cutouts in the bumper. I'll get some pictures after I install them, should be here Thursday.

Does the OFT really make that much of a difference?? I run 93. E85 isn't available in my area. Sad panda!

Yes, it's a noticeable difference and I run 93. No Ragrets!

Yes. It's worth it... especially if you're going to do other upgrades in the future as the Stage 1, 2 and other tunes are free after you purchase the OFT.

Put in the sound insulation in the driver door and under the rear seats. No more rattling speaker sounds and the cabin is quieter. I expect that once I do under the front floorboards, it will be quiet as a Mercedes.

Put in a TapTurn, got too used to the feature in my Golf

I replaced a couple of the push clips in the trunk with speed nuts and threaded hooks. This allowed me to keep my subwoofer in place with bungees instead of the ultra psycho velcro that I was using before (tears up the carpet when I take it out).

Also, it's nice to have a few hooks back there in general. I hate that I couldn't fasten anything down, drives me nuts to have things bouncing around in the trunk.

Finally (well, I've only had the car a week and a half) got some wheels!
