I wouldn't have bought it.

I would have sucked it up and payed an additional $3k for a stock (and well-cared for) tib in my area. One I could have thoroughly inspected before purchase.

I would have got a blue one and I wouldn't have let myself get ripped off on my headunit. I also wouldn't wait so long to do these installs. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with everything.

I would have gotten a turbo 2 years sooner and probably would have had 500whp a long time ago. I spent way too much time and money trying to find the best way to get 2-3hp out of n/a mods.

Some people are doing that even now. So I'm trying to pass on my knowledge so they don't waste their time like I did.

If I could go back, I'd never have purchased the 17" wheels and crapy Kuhmos that I had on my car a while back.

I would have gotten a blue or tropic green RD2 instead, and put in a better alarm sooner, I'd still have my Clarion 7 Inch Touchscreen DVD player.

I wouldn't have bought some of the parts I've BOUGHT and sold without installing, and I would have tried harder in Korea to get more for my car.

First off I NEVER would have bought that damn Alpine kit!!!!! mad.gif

I would not have spent all my money on outside appreance, and I would have made my Tib a N/A BEAST! Then I might work on something on the exterior... Ahh if only I could really start over and get all my money back... 02.gif
