GameOver's Mod Progress Thread

Finally got the time to upload the pics to most of the mods I have made to my car.

I will keep on posting pics of my progress whenever i can.

(All my current pics were taken with my 8MP Camera Phone, i will take proper pics when i have time in the future).

Current Mods:
  • OEM Wing Spoiler
  • Red Interior LEDs
  • 35% Window Tint
  • Injen Cold Air Intake
  • Progress 22mm RSB
  • 4300k HID Fog Lights
Future Mods:
  • CT-E Cat-Back Exhaust (Shipped!.. receiving and installing hopefully by 2/4/2012)
  • P2R - Throttle Body Spacer w/ Thermal Throttle Body Gasket (Ordered.. will install with Exhaust)
  • 19" Rims and Appropriate Tires (Hoping for big tax refund)
  • I will decide on more depending on what i can afford in the future!

Funny you say that... that's exactly what i tell people when they step in. I turn on the front lights, and start an evil laugh and rubbing and hands together lol.

Very Nice, Are those really 4300k? I thought 4300k was stock color.
Those seem to have blue in them.

Are you lowering?

I bought 4300k, but yes they are brighter then what came stock with the headlights.

Im not sure if i will lower. Not in the near future. If i do, it will be only an inch or so. Some people including my mechanic advise against it, as it messes with the built in stabilization... or something of that nature.

We can definitely do that. I work in Edison, it works out for me perfectly. We will plan something.

Agreed. Haven't gotten to it yet. What is the best way to remove it that will not cause any damage to paint job?

Take a Heatgun (or blowdryer) and carefully heat up the badge. Be careful not to heat up the paint too much if you are using a heatgun. The heat will soften the glue for easy removal. Then take dental floss and go under the badge and "floss" it off. There should be some glue residue left so all you gotta do is take some goo gone to remove it.

is your RSB on the softer or harder setting? I'm thinking about switching to the harder setting but don't really want to take the time to do it...

This week is not going to be good, but let me know if sometime in the upcoming week works. What time do you guys usually meet? I do work in Edison, but then have to go home to wife (who is pregnant) and kid, and live like 30 min away with no traffic.

CT-E Cat-Back Exhaust - Tracking Info

My CT-E Cat-Back Exhaust shipped the 1/27/12... you would think there would have been an update as to where it is right now

At least im still scheduled to receive it by Friday.

Exhaust - Before & After

Package waiting for me from UPS when i got home!


Parts In Box


Before










After














Replacing the exhaust was alot easier than i thought, and was done in about an hour, probably a little less.

The car purrs like a friggen lion now, and i feel that i gained some more hp out of it, but that can be my mind messing with me, because of how good it sounds and feels diving it.

I will take some video and upload it when i get a chance, and compare stock, stock w/ cai, and cai w/ cat-back exhaust.
