Congrats! It finally came in huh? I have to say I had my doubts when you said you bought it, but it actually matches your car pretty well!

If you decide to leave the CF showing (versus painting it MRM) you should consider painting your roof black (or having it "vinyled") and getting some additional CF pieces (maybe the Seibon CF front and sides to match).

SO many threads on this if you search but

ECT mode = regular driving mode. Transmission shifts smoothly and normally.

PWR mode = Makes car "Feel" sportier by letting transmission shift at higher RPMS and downshift sooner than in ECT mode. Does not add any extra power though.

SNOW mode = self explanatory, use it in snow. I believe it keeps the transmission out of 1st gear (Starts in second) and keeps it in higher gears to decrease torque so your wheels aren't spinning in the snow.

1. Yes she has come along way
2. Yes Im gonig to black out the housing soon, when I get my front red turn indicators, Im gunna have Tommy black everything out.
3. I use SNOW mode because it keeps your car from reaching higher rpms too quickly (if using in snow, which is what it's made for, it prevents you from losing traction or your tires slipping) The reason I use it is because if the car revs slowly, then it isn't so loud
