Default Wheels on! Last mod forever.

Well, maybe.

So the wheels finally came in. Had suspension done a few months ago (H&R Race with Koni). I was too excited so I only took a few crummy pics. More to come later on.
BTW, yes, I am missing a center cap on the rear right. On order. Doh.

Enkei RPM2. 18x8 ET35 5x112. Dunlop FM901s 225/40/18

Default if only i could afford a wash i would...

...I guess I should've done the clear corners when I did the xenons but after shaving the housing to fit the ballasts with out using a dremel, I didn't give a crap anymore and just wanted to see the xenons done.

btw, that's a nice pic in your sig.

Default the tip chip is decent...but you really don't notice a difference unless...

...you are driving pretty aggressively...but after having it for a while now i can't even remember what the shift times were like without the tipchip =P

The shift points have definitely changed when you drive in auto. More aggressive, but still a bit annoying. Holds certain gears longer when needed. Shifts in tip mode are a lot quicker though. However, don't buy into that "super bike type shifting" description that some say =)

Either way, I DO remember there being a nice improvement when I first got it =) Let me know how your experience goes.
