Nice nothing worse then someone modding something that effects the safety of the vehicle. As long as it doesn't effect the srs then awesome job!

Did you cut the floor mat or do the boxes need to be removed to access the spare? Nice work regardless it's a clean looking setup.

going from stock to this at once would be overwhelming but I did it piece by piece and got adjusted to it. The headers are definitely loud but if you keep your set up the way it is and just add those you should be just loud enough to smile non stop! I will video as soon as I can. I have a cheap dash cam so the sound quality blows but we will get the go pro set up soon. I'm waiting on my tune then I will dyno. There is no longer any flat spot in rpm so to me this is perrrrfect.

The floor mat was cut at the edge of the boxes and the tools were moved to the spare tire well so i can still access the tire and the tools. I will take some pictures of the mat so you can see the access.

Got this on the hood from what I assume is a rock. =[.
It is not huge but enough that it really bugs me. Going to go get estimates to see how much it will set me back. Now this may be a stupid question and I apologize but I just want confirmation. If I do get it fixed then I would have to get the opti-coat reapplied in that same area as well, correct?

With our paint being so soft i bet you can get someone to buff it and blend it with some touch up paint and you wouldn't know the difference. Would be cheaper then getting a new paint job because they will have to paint the whole hood to make it look good.

02C (WRB) touchup looks like ass; just had a rock chipped filled after the car was detailed today. Completely different shade of blue, not even sure clearing it will help.
