Morgan, at this point we'd settle for phone pics uploaded to photobucket on the mobile app.

Damn that engine bay is filthy.

Im trying my hardest to not work tomorrow. If that turns out to be the case, the car is finally getting washed (its disgusting right now) and pics will be taken this weekend. I do have an appointment in the morning, so Ill probably be washing it later in the afternoon.

J, you're cracking me up.

That convertible/roadster looks surprisingly good, though.

The roadster version does look good. I really like when they have those pods that stick up behind the seat tops.

I installed my new BilletProShop short shifter today. It was really easy to install, aside from the damn rubber boot on the linkage. I have no idea how they squeezed that thing on at the factory, but I tore the hell out of it. Guess Ill be placing my first OE parts order

Since I didnt take a pic of mine, Ill use a stock image:



Heres some gifs comparing the height/throw.

Neutral:



Third:



Fourth:



And then I cleaned up the interior and took a few pics, just for you Aman.







Sorry for the dark pics, but I didnt realize until after the fact that I had dust on the lens. I didnt feel like going back out after cleaning it, so I just made them dark. Theres one shot Im trying to do of the interior, but that will probably happen this weekend.

Also, the exterior is still a mess. I plan on washing it tomorrow after work. Im going to Cars and Coffee Saturday, so Ill take some pics then. Not much has changed though

Nice shots. I love a nicely done IP.

How does the shifter feel compared to stock? (Besides being shorter, obviously)

Damn, 14k miles? It seems like last month when you were at 10k.

Just by rowing through the gears in the driveway, it feels more solid. The reverse lockup mechanism is much smoother too, and its nice to get rid of the plastic piece. I havent gone for a drive with it though, so we'll see tomorrow.

I broke 12k miles Sept 16th. Work has been slow and I havent gone out of state at all this past month. Hopefully we have another warm winter so I can keep driving it though. The miles don't really bother me. I'm actually looking forward to breaking 100k.

Then 200k....300k....and so on.
