My car as is sits right now..
So, I don't get on here as much as I used to. I am over at V.org and VT.org most of the time. Most of the people on there are... lacking in knowledge so I spend most of my time informing..
So far, the car has a good handful of mods with a few more coming in the next month or so..
I have done the following:
NGM lowering springs (~1.5" drop) since the turbo springs are taller than the NA
EZ-lip, gotta have my ricey lip.. I actually really like the look
bumper claws.. more rice
custom SRI
forge BOV
XXR 18x7.5 flat black wheels
8mm spacers all around
Next month or so:
HIDs (here not installed)
20% tint all around
replacing muffler with a simple thrush muffler/glasspack
I am really enjoying the car so far. After 1500 miles (in two weeks) I am averaging 29mpg which I think is great considering the type of driving I have been doing, the E10 gas blend, elevation, 90+ heat, etc. I think it will be very easy to hit 35+mpg on the highway to Cali during the labor day weekend.
Car handles quite well and is decently quick. Only complaint I have is the EPS could have a bit more resistance/feedback. The pano-roof is quite nice also.

haha, no camber.. well none really noticeable.. the back is a torsion setup so it is not really possible. It looks that like it from the way the wife took the photo

the forge BOV is a REALLY well machined piece and seems to function very well. So easy to swap springs.. no diaphragm to fail either. no high pitched whistle or anything either, just a woooooooosh of air.
I got mine for 165$ shipped so not a bad deal.
