**Beast** · 07-30-2012 01:52 PM

**Mops@Nemesis** · 07-30-2012 06:24 PM

**H20pologoalie** · 08-01-2012 11:36 AM

Getting my KW v1's, H&R 20/25 spacers, SPC control arms, lamin-x smoked tails, amber deletes all put on today. Hope I didn't get the offset wrong for the Ti rims!? If so, I'll just get another set of 20mm. I want the DRA's, cause my bolts are Ti color. Also ordered my AWE S-flo and AWE Touring diamond black exhaust today form Rabe Motorsport. Sick deal from Nate over there. Can't wait till those come in. After this I'm probably done for a little while. That's what I'm telling myself at least. Though the graphite CV3's are looking better and better. You guys have any other suggestions on where to go next, alu-kreuz, sways. I'd like to dabble more in the sub $500 range and wheels and ecodes are going to have to wait.

nice list of mods u got there. imo i say keep the TI wheels and ditch the cv3's. while cv3's are nice, they are getting really common.

The correct parlance is "played out"

**mxrz** · 08-13-2012 05:43 PM

Rusty wheel bolts... always a fashionable accessory.

**Beast** · 08-13-2012 05:45 PM

I did some..... dirty dirty things. ;)

**ActivS5** · 08-13-2012 07:35 PM

Took much better pics of my calipers:

**Mops@Nemesis** · 08-15-2012 07:56 PM

Looks really good Clit. Must say those wheels look very nice for the price tag.

no no its Clintoris..and thanks! My eyes and pockets are happy

You gave me some inspiration.. first the calipers, next probably AR's

**mxrz** · 08-16-2012 04:31 AM

Drove it, parked it, stared at it, walked away from it, turned back and stared at it some more...

Dear Clitoris, happy to help. I have many poor man mods up my sleeve:) BTW, I really like my Adams...but I will say the dimpled ones are a bit noisy. Not in a bad way at all. Can clarify if needed.

Today, I plan to rub on mine until it cums.

It's real nice when the car is rolling.. the white rings are still visible and actually pop! Its a great combo on Ibis

**Yakk** · 09-09-2012 09:27 AM

**1FlipA5** · 09-10-2012 09:08 AM

Nice pics Yakk! Its an truly amazing car and color. I cant stop staring at the rear...face lift lights and rear valence are perfect!

Chilled next to the VIP category cars yesterday at a local meet for charity:

My first non Euro only show, it was interesting...

**mxrz** · 09-10-2012 09:13 AM

Too bad those new taillights have the ugly non-LED bulb side marker and the whole damn thing flashes red as turn signal...

**Beast** · 09-10-2012 09:31 AM

LED tails ftw?

Interior -> P3 Digital Gauge / TT-RS Flat bottom Steering Wheel w/ hybrid dual clutch activated i.e. paddle shifters w/ a 6mt

Performance -> APR K04 v2 / EuroCode Intercooler

**Ogalt** · 10-16-2012 04:43 PM

Installed Carbon Fiber Paddle Extensions tonight. They are installed right now temporarily with CVS double sided foam tape (top grade for sure lol).
The paddles are very well made, just need to find the best adhesive to tack them on with.

*Disregard the dirty interior*

**Beast** · 10-17-2012 03:36 AM

^very nice where did you get those from?

**bknewtype** · 10-17-2012 05:16 AM

**Ogalt** · 10-17-2012 03:48 PM

Bader your car looks absolutely sick! well done! I ended up only pulling the trigger on the paddles.
What adhesive would u recommend for installing them, there a tad loose for me when using 3m double sided foam tape.

**ActivS5** · 10-17-2012 04:03 PM

Bader, which vinyl carbon fiber did you end up going with on your trim? Does the weave match the inlays?

Ogalt: mine came installed with the new steering wheel
Chris: Haven't paid attention really but I know its less gloss than the OEM CF
Tboooe: made to order, email izzy at [email protected]
