Only Kris can make that choice. Sometimes it's what the car means to you over if you drive it or not. Go ahead ask mom about her gay ass fire fly she wouldn't get rid of haha.

From talking to sammy, I understood that since he had our car's specs (ss/sc) in the dyno unit, it was 75-100 for a session for any of us, but Teej thinks its like that just for each individual car... I'm not really sure myself, so its best to call Sammy.

btw, I don't have a "fee" aside from registering your car on the interface. Ask John or Teej.

My guess is the road noise will drop as they start to break in / wear a bit. Have you had your alignment rechecked? Riding on a ridge on a brand new tire could seriously contribute to road noise, and excessive wear for that matter...

Go with hpt. Trifecta is no better than a cookie cutter tune, and better suited to the 2.2's that have no other options for obvious reasons.

Allignment was done, its just the tires, i knew buying them they were noiser but well worth it for the handling/traction.

justso you guys know - Jrmotorsports works at a vinyl shop. You can have your bumper painted normally, then get it vinyled;
If you go this route and decide later that you don't like the look you aren't looking at repainting the whole freaking bumper (plus the vinyl will protect the paint!).

just saying...

yes i could do the evo mods for you in vinyl that way you can avoid the expenses of painting it. and the headaches later when you want to remove it. actually i am doing something like that as we speak. i also know it will be at rc fri night coz the dude loves to race. hahahaha not saying for who tho... lol

i was leaning toward a textured vinyal, like a rock gurad, cause i totallt agree, if i waana remove it or whatevs lets not paint the whole bumper, also saves the step of removing it to paint it.
