I used to have Dejon charge piping with a greddy RS BOV, sold it, bought the injen, now back to dejon. I love it. I always wanted to try the HKS BOV cause they seem the most customizable with the different inserts for sound and ****. But in all honesty, all charge pipes are exactly the same to me. They dont really make a difference at all. You dont notice any spool difference or sound difference. Its pretty much whatever one you think looks nice. At least thats how i see it. HKS is fun though! lol. I love driving around with a BOV.

I got a revving one outside too its uploading. sounds pretty straight. I wanna get the inserts for the HKS so i can change it when i want to

I got a mini update lol. Tommorow i take the car to the shop and leave it there and wont have it back home till i finish painting it. Door panels come off and it goes up on jackstands so i can work on the car and the wheels and calipers this week. Today I just did some running around and swapped out a quart of silver base for Chrysler silver basecoat so it covers better, got my silver pearl for the black, ordered a recirc fitting from a local performance shop for my HKS, traded in 2 games to gamestop twords Splinter Cell Conviction

You could do that, and yea the color coat works well on the plastic too. It says right on it, it works for vinyl, fabric, plastic, everything. I was thinking about Suede but I just hate the look when some1 rubs it in a different direction and it looks all different colors. Thats just a pet peeve of mine lol
haha. yeah i've used the product before but just havent had the ***** to do it on a whole headliner... because ive seen other people try it and when they rub it its hard and ******* shows where you rubbed it

UPDATE
Ripped apart the interior today and worked more on the spoiler. Made good progress:













lots of nakey pics! broke like every damn clip on the bottom of that black rubber piece on rocker panel when you step in and out of the drive seat, its like that rubber grib thing to protect from your shoes hitting it i guess. You cant remove those clips with a clip tool, once you pull ont hem they just stretch and snap. So i gotta get new ones from the dealer when i install it all. not a big deal just pissed me off. But other then that everything went smoothly. Wound up Sanding the spoiler again and fixed a spot on the end that was thicker then the rest and pissed me off. still have to work on it again tommorow since i feel a bunch of high and low spots and it needs to be hit 180 and primed again. Tommorow im gonna jack up the car and set it on jackstands and start sanding the wheels.
The primer layed down real clumpy on the wheels and itll be a bitch to final sand them without going down to the metal, so i think im just gonna hit them with 180 on a soft hand pad, use my primer gun and hit them with primer surfacer and lay it down as smooth as I can get it, so then i can just scuff them up with a scotch bright and apply color. Real difficult to sand primer on rims without going down to the metal since its all edges.
