I have also changed out the parking bulbs and tail light bulbs for LEDs and added a Kenwood head unit and Alpine amp. Great car and enjoying it every day!
Awesome car, congrats -- best interior color out there, mandatory on the next one. Your coupe twin is for sale, you should buy it too! https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ngId=490349003

The interior and PSE are what sold me on the car. The coupe is nice, they would look great together!

Had a bunch of maintenance done at The RennShop in Mountain View, CA. Cleaned up the engine bay while they were at it. Love this car.











I also replaced the previous owner's garish Alpine head unit with a Continental TR7412UB-OR. Very happy with it. Looks nearly OEM and the bluetooth works great with my iPhone.

I really like that. I like the stock look and would like a blue tooth feature. Thank you.

Nice kit. Would look much better dropped 20-25mm and with spacers. You've gone for a high performance look which needs to include the stance to finish it off.

Greg what size spacers did you put on your car? And have you noticed more paint chips? I've been thinking about spacers ever since seeing your car. I took this photo of my car and it just screams "spacers please"...

Few shots of mine from last weekend. We rented a cabin on a lake in North Western Tennessee and I had to take a few pics of this car with that cabin!! I'm installing GT3 control arms upfront along with new tie rods this morning!

I have 17mm factory spacers all around. Haven't driven it much after that yet, but so far haven't noticed an increase in chipping - might be more of a problem if you drive on unsealed roads a lot though?
Cheers

Same for me even with 5mm factory spaces - paint chips in the side

Comparing apples to oranges. My wife's FVD Brombacher exhaust on a 981 vs my cheapy ebay muffler delete bypass.
