Yeah Mike, where are those pix? Car sounds sweet, so let's see it already! 
B/T/W - Does it really rain in Orange County? My wife watches that stupid show about those housewives and I occasionally get stuck watching a few minutes of it. That place looks like it never rains.

I appreciate the responsed gentlemen, however, yet to see any significant increases. So far a chip, supercharger, airfilter, and exhaust would do the trick! Am I correct?

I was going to take pictures today, but the car is dusty. I've been meaning wash it but it's been threatening to rain all week! It is suppose to rain tomorrow and monday so maybe rainy day shot. I'll put my SLR in a bag or something haha.
My car is sitting pretty low tho. My front tires are tucked (i cant stick my finger in) and my rear, there's half a finger gap. I might lower the rear just a tad when I get my alignment. So far LOVING it. I admire my car every time I walk away. I'm sick.

you should get your car aligned at firestone, 170 w/o no tax lifetime alignment. i got mine done yesterday (it was a month wait b/c i have been busy with work and school

Alpinewhite,
You do realize that you have to ALWAYS be super paranoid these days about speed bumps and dips when you exit plazas. right? Whenever you see these terrible things you need to take them at an angle and never straight on or else you'll bottom out.
