Lots of New Mods... And A Red Interior!

Added a few mods since my last post... and a red leather interior!
Thanks to the guys at OxSpeed.com for doing the suspension work and fitting the Invidia (and talking me into it! )

Just an FYI as a few of you have asked: The Invidia is an excellent pipe.
Not too obnoxious sounding but definitely a nice rumble.
I'd highly recommend it... Just make sure they send you the latest model.
The shop had a heck of a time fitting the first one they sent and it didn't fit right.
This one has the laser etching on the pipe sides... Beautiful piece of kit!


Here's the latest mods (More to come...)

Koni Sport Shocks
H&R Springs
Invidia Cat Back
JSart Wing Extender
Re-Striped
Red Leather Interior Swap Out
Auto Meter Oil & Boost Kit

Some pix of teh dash with the gauges? How do you like them. Did you do the red piping on the rear seats? How does teh car ride/feel/handle differently with the H&R springs and Koni's? Nice work.

Here's the gauges:





The rear seats are totally swapped out... The piping that shows in the trunk is actually from the seats:



The springs & Koni shocks are excellent!
I like to feel the road do wanted it stiff.
After install I was a little worried because it was very tight!
The good news is that after several hundred miles it softened up a little and now the ride is just a little bid stiffer than stock... Exactly what I was going for.

Love this set up!!
