Wheels look good, car looks really clean. Not sure if I like what you did in your hatch but its cool if you do. Lol. I've never seen someone do that. Pretty interesting.

Lol I wanted to do something different that not. Lot of people see to make it stand out a little.

Yeah, that's cool. Doesn't look bad, just different and it's a unique idea. Great looking sti.

Installed my perrin wing raiser and my new lugs today

 

[Alin]

Does the wing raiser kit actually affect aerodynamics? Does the car feel different 60/70+?

After reading this, I read some reviews on it. Some say they felt more planted and others stated a loose feeling in the rear. It seems you can adjust the height and pitch so maybe you can "tune" it out.
It looks killer. Funny how such a subtle thing has such a dramatic impact on looks.

 

[Smee_STI]

Lol just saw the reply I felt no diffrence with it on. It is adjustable but it's a pain in the ass to do

 

[Smee_STI]

Got some wrap done today lol killer price to 160$ for the roof and CF accents.

 

[Alin]

That roof is killer. Wow!! Awesome man!!!

 

[Smee_STI]

Thanks .
Once black top aero finished my lip it will go great with the CF accents

Got my cobb XLE bypass valve on last night, works great! Also threw on some OEM Rain guards.

While doing the XLE bypass valve we also put on some Denso one step colder plugs. Car idles so much cleaner after that. We gapped them to .028 as well. Lol first time doing plugs on a boxer and its a lot more annoying then I had anticipated lol
