Hey Dennis hows the S2K doing? Any upcoming mods? I'm looking to purchase the front lip, side strakes and rear trunk spoiler within a few months.

Did you see the HPDE track event at MSR next weekend? I was planning on going but something came up, would have been fun to learn the limits of the car there haha. http://www.nasaproracing.com/event/1711

It is doing well man. I scored an oem front lip locally so it is getting painted along with both bumpers as we speak. I'm about to paint the calipers silver and change spark plugs tonight. I have some extended floor mats waiting for me at my door . After that, it just needs to be detailed and it will be perfect. Still not sure if I want to drop it or not I might have to check out that track event

Yeah man I was at the Hewitt meet! I didn't sell you any runners tho Russell lol I seen you traded that ol' white whip in for a 6spd right? My car looked a bit different back then. Maybe this pic will look familiar. I have new wheels now but this is what it looked like back in june... Dropped on them stockies with spacers sittin flush

Its a easy install, just take your bumoer off and remove the fog light grilles. there are no alignment holes and you have to drill 4 holes in your bumper. I'd suggest using more 3m tape on the bumper and aspec kit and pay attention when you put it on and try to get all the gaps out at the top corners b4 you apply the tape. Its not bad, the rear was a mofo just cuz i didnt wanna cut much so i had to cut again, and again, and again, and again until i had enough so it sat flush. All looks good now though! Im in Dallas homie, so it might be a drive lol I might come down there soon tho. Maybe if i get some control arms for Dennis...

Bish plz! Im straight piped and it doesnt sound horrible.

Imo,stage mods are just cheap exhaust mods which end up sounding like crap.

Do a full setup with different mufflers rather than oem canisters.
