Jason how will you add the GT3 vent? Doesnt it need a different bumper to fit?
What functions are you getting with the module, I thought that most of them we already had in our cars...

Nick, I'm having a local body shop cut my stock bumper to put the GT3 vent in. Yeah, I know, I'm not too crazy about that idea either but I love the way the GT3 vent looks so its worth it to me.
The mods4car module has a number of features that appeals to me. One of which is actual FULL fledged auto-up capabilities. Right now, the passenger side will only roll back up with the touch of the window switch IF it hasn't been rolled down past the halfway mark. Seems silly if you ask me. And then I wanted the alarm system to chirp when being activated/disactivated. The mods4car will do that for me.

When I went to pick up the car, the car was sitting in the service bay. The service manager said he'd bring it by while I was taking care of the bill. Suddenly, I heard a really loud sound coming from behind me. I asked the service advisor what that was and both of them just looked at me and grinned. I realized then that it was my car! He revved the car a couple times for me and I couldn't stop grinning. It sounds extremely good. A definitely plus for those that like the classic flat-6 sound. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that it almost sounds as good as a friend's RUF 993 albeit not quite as loud.
When I got in the car, I immediately noticed that there wasn't any droning or resonance coming from the rear. I also noticed that there seemed to be a bit more power coming off the line and moving at speed.
I LOVE this exhaust!
