bunch of new mods (pics)

almost 3 years to the day that I made the drive to Cleveland to pick up this car. 35,000 miles later (not my DD) i'm enjoying it more now than ever.

In the last month i've made some changes to mods I already had as well as added some new things. Started with FVD's exhaust and tune. Exhaust sounds great and prefer it greatly to what I had on the car.
Had done some suspension changes already but went a little further and took it to TPC Racing for their stage 3 suspension package. I like that all the pieces are designed and built as a package - no mixing of parts, no guessing what might be causing what, etc. You also can't argue with a 24hour Daytona winner. Also went with their IC's. Great work by Mike, Tom, and the rest of the TPC team.

Next, was the appearance. I wanted something that looked like it could have come from the factory. I went with Techart's type 1 front spoiler and rear wing. To round it out I went with the GT2 side skirt. I'm thrilled with how it came out. Thanks to Matt and Eddie at Detailing Dynamics for their usual OCD work LOL.

I even ordered a couple of leather interior pieces that I missed on my original spec.

Looking good. If it were mine I'd get a light tint and red taillights. But it also looks great as is.

Nice job Chris!! The techart stuff is just plain awesome. It makes the car look so much more aggressive...remember to get that plate from RSS to keep the front lip pristine.

I need to drive my car more...I don't even have 10k on the clock yet!

yeah, ordered these before I even had the car. Actually, ordered them before they even existed. All I had were renderings. I remember it was back and forth for a while if they were going to actually make them in 19"s. I'm pretty sure mine were one of, if not the 1st set of 19"s in the country.
