Weighted shift knobs make shifting so much better... Just not in really hot or cold weather lol.

Car looks good! Any plans after S-techs?

Looks good. I think the raijins are pretty nice wheels. If your planning on getting those widths and offsets, id go with the raijins

just received my lip. I'm definitely going to have to get a heat gun on that bitch when it comes time to mount/ test fit the thing. this was also the most difficult thing to unpack in the world took me like 15 minutes.

I miss my lip soo much... but never again. $100 for lip +$250 paint job & install and 6 months later it snapped in 45 deg weather. I hope it works out better for you though.
