So here we go, from the very beginning...

The day I brought her home. She's a 6MT 2011 EX with nav:



First mod was the factory XM radio but I can't really get a picture of it as it's in the dash somewhere lol.

Second was the illuminated door sills:


Tint was next because it gets really hot here in So Cal. Got it done at Tint Pros in Huntington Beach. I went with 5% Formula One Pinnacle Ceramic Tint all around. The heat rejection is great and it doesn't interfere with my Nav or TPMS:


Next I got a Basis OEM lip and iJDMTOY 6000k HID fog light kit installed on the same day:




I had the lip on for less than a month then sold it because I bought a JDP kit. I decided I didn't want the JDP kit anymore because too many people had it lol. I never even put the kit on and sold it too. First performance mod was my HKS intake. The beginning of my HKS obsession as you will see:


Next was a catback HKS exhaust, P2R Downpipe, and Denso spark plugs:


I got my car dynoed with these mods:



Mods also helped MPG go from 37 to 41.5


I saw Hoi was selling his HKS intake with the J-speed intake box from Japan that I always wanted so I sold mine and bought his. I also added a Mugen radiator cap:


Added the white interior LED lights, license plate lights, projector reverse lights, switchback turn signals, and LED Diffuser reflectors from iJDMTOY. Shout out to Thura at iJDMTOY who is always helpful and really easy to deal with.






Went to Basis and came home with a rear sway bar (Which I plan to paint red to match the rest of my accessories), red steering wheel H, Mugen key fob, PWJDM washers and battery tie down in red.

Scotty, Daniel, Art thanks!

The offset is +22

Out-freakin-standing, sir! Great set up on a great car :wub: :thumbsup:
I was just asking today how a by 9+29 would ne up front and if you roll your fenders they will barely poke I rolled mine and tried my 8+24
Tires are 215/40/17


Pokes a little too much in the front for my liking but the concave looks so good to me. I know camber bolts will help but I might just go less aggressive (8.5 +40) in the front for now since I found some in stock. Thoughts?
I agree, it does poke a bit much up front. So the setup that you are thinking of doing, 9 in back and 8.5 up front, might look really good. Great looking wheels, by the way.

Thanks for the honest opinion. That's what I'm looking for. I'm getting some camber bolts tomorrow so we will see how much it helps.

I would go with the 17x8.5 +40 in the front. Looks awesome otherwise. Are you rubbing at all with that setup?

I only put the wheels on and pulled straight back to get pics. I'm sure it does though since I haven't done any fender mods yet.

Had camber bolts installed at basis today. Still too much poke :(
Tapatalk isn't letting me post pics now so maybe later. Looks like I'm gonna have to go with the non concave 8.5 +40

I missed ya! When did you show up?
I got there around 12:30. You must've went pretty early. What did you get?

Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
Damn! Yea i was there from 9-11 ish. bought his apexi n1 coilovers and his old rpf-1s. perfect setup <3
I didn't know they were open that early. He should've never taken the stuff off lol. It is a good setup though.

Yea the rest of the car was stock. I'm hoping I don't get labeled as the "bought not built" guy. I swear it's all my carbon! Did you read my story bout the first one?

Don't do it just roll your fenders :nervous:

Lol you won't. Yeah that's BS what happened to your first one. Glad it all worked out in the end though.

Dude you don't know how bad I want the concave lol. I am going to roll them I just don't want to pull them too much. I'm even thinking about getting the mulsanne fender kit. I gotta get more info on if the front ones are actual fenders or just go over the original fenders like the rears do. Hopefully they come out farther than oem.
