It kinda looks just stuck on there to me. Dosen't flow well. Or wait is that just the stock bodykit?
Wheel setup is nice though.

^stock aero kit. I'm not a huge fan of the stuck on look either... worse in the rear IMO. Would've looked amazing if it was separate bumper covers all together.. dem costs doe.

it looks really bad imo. They need to do it like the SE TSX bumper or Modulo front bumper where its an entire actual 1 peice bumper.

If I knew how, I would wrap mine. Especially if it was a lighter color like that.

Because wood grain is for old people. I covered mine up with vinyl too. Wood grain accents are the worst.

I just like the glossy-ness of it compared to vinyl. I'd prefer real aluminium or something

There aren't very many "Chan's" out there so it's possible you are related!

I just did full synthetic last week.

Such a pain in the ass though on this car. the metal skid plate thing on the bottom has to come off which is really annoying. If you haven't done your trans fluid change yet you might as well do it at the same time.

I read 35k somewhere. So if your around there just do it while you change your oil.

When I changed my trans fluid, I realized that out of the 8 bolts that were supposed to be holding that skid plate on, I only had 3 haha

Can't ever trust other people to change your oil right....

Bright side, I still have 3 bolts and it's really easy to take on and off now lmao

Toronto winters have been no joke I think I'm actually gonna have to raise the car this year. Was pretty bad last year

If you're actually worried about the effects of winter, my number 1 recommendation other than raising the car is to put anti seize on everything you plan on changing (coilover threads, RSB bolts, camber kit bolts, etc.)
