Nice! Can't wait to see the new ride haha, the mods never stop man!
Yep, I'm beginning to realize that haha I almost bought a muffler for my car AND a set of rims for the upcoming one over this weekend alone. And the amount of willpower that it took to not spend that money was probably about as much as it took me to quit smoking! I just wish my Xi sells already so I can take over the 535 and be a happy modding camper

Why don't you just start buying lci mods for your new car? RPI scoops, drop in filter, jb3 or procede, wheels, RPI gt race exhaust, springs or coilovers, trunk or roof finished etc etc

That's what I've been thinking, basically. The only thing stopping me is the fact that there's a chance I don't sell my car fast enough, so I'll be stuck with a bunch of parts and no car to put it on

Btw does the JB3, or procede, affect the warranty?

Yeah, it voids it if they catch you. But JB3 is really easy to install/remove.
Only takes 15 minutes to take out if you get the PnP one.

how do you guys manage your mod bugs in transitional periods "between" cars?
I build birdhouses for elderly shut-ins or drive around feeding feral cats. It's very rewarding.





It's the whole circle of life unfolding before your eyes. By feeding the cats, they no longer attack the birds, which in turn fill the birdhouses with song and joy.

I think the bird above really would have liked that birdhouse since both are/were the same colors. I can't be everywhere.

I'm selling my car, but I'm going nuts, because every time I even pass by it I wanna mod something. I bought shift knob the other day, but that only made it worse. I look at the wheels and think "RIMS!!!", I look at the trunk and think "Finisher!Spoiler!Roof Spoiler!" I'm craving here, and I know there's no sense in modding this car, since I'm selling it anyway, so I'm offering a hand to anyone in my area who might need help on some DIYs, or smth! ANYTHING to keep me occupied, before I pull the trigger on some set of wheels in the classifieds, or smth... help how do you guys manage your mod bugs in transitional periods "between" cars?

I ain't kiddin' either - PM me if you need help with smth - if I'm not working, I'll be glad to help.
you could come to nebraska and you and i could set up a lemonade stand for my mod bank
