Picked up this car September 2015 and since then it has been through everything. Motor went in August 2017, and rationally- I should have just picked up a different car but where's the fun in that?

Nice one jelly.

YES DRL WE HAVE A BUILD THREAD

I remember when you came to the meet and mentioned your bumper, and I was like, zip-tie it.

Do you have any plans for your taillights Dan? I can't stand them stock... They suit the blue better tho.

I am so goddamn excited about that spoiler...

No plans for the taillights yet, but I'm a fan of the vinyl overlays.

Though I remember us talking about the LED reflectors and that's something I could get into lol

And daaaaamn thanks for the photo Spencer! I always forget to pull out my phone for photos idk why

I vote for red overlays + red reflector LED's.

Replacing the stock reflectors with LEDs, right? I'd be interested.

When Conrad can't pass OPI in BC because of his headlights and has to return to Calgary we can all do an install day.

I have these overlays on my list of things to buy when my money tree finally starts growing.

I'm going to be cleaning my lights and doing something very similar, though I'm looking for the smoked red and smoked middle

Hey DRL are you getting an aftermarket downpipe as well? It allows the engine/turbo to exhale much smoother and is the first step to making real power after stage 1
