So, finally did my first mod this week. I took it in to a local performance shop and the result was amazing! The craftsmanship and fabrication work is absolute perfection. It's a custom bolt on axleback muffler delete, completely replacing the factory axleback. Went with 2.5" piping and 3.5" dual staggered, double-walled tips. Looks so much better than the factory tips in my mind and not to mention how much better it sounds over stock. Now the car sounds the way it looks. There is a slight drone between 2500-3200 RPM but it isn't unbearable. If it becomes too much, I can always get some resonators or small mufflers added. Overall, extremely happy with the outcome. Will get some more pictures and hopefully a sound clip soon.
Like your exhaust work. Any chance you could name the "local performance shop" that did the work? I'm curious if they are close to the IL border.
It was done by VL Performance. I live in central WI so it'd be a couple hour drive for you.

any details on brand of the tips or where to buy
The tips I believe were just found on eBay. Not sure of the brand. They are 3.5" dual double walled stainless steel tips if you care to search for them.
Sorry for the late responses. I haven't checked this in sometime. Thank you for the kind words! More to come soon and towards spring!
So, it's been awhile since I last updated this thread and a lot has changed. Here is the list of mods that have been done over the last few months:
Konig Ampliforms in Dark Metallic Graphite
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
AirLift Performance Struts with 3P Management
Silkblaze Style Front Lip - Wouldn't recommend as it was a PITA to get to line up. Buy a real kit. I have a new/different lip kit on the way.
RR Racing Carbon Intake Tube
The AirLift install and trunk setup was all done by Fitment Industries/Offsets Garage/Custom Offsets here in WI. I had purchased the 3H management but there would have been a lot of fabricating to create custom mounting brackets for the height sensors so we decided just to run 3P. I also wanted to keep the trunk setup simple, clean, and still look factory while keeping the spare tire and being able to fit a golf bag. Maybe I'll get a little more crazy with the trunk in the future, but for now this is perfect.
More pictures can be seen on my Instagram, gh0st_rc. I update that more regularly.
Picked up a new set of wheels in November and finally got around to test fit them. Currently getting the fronts rebuilt to make it a square set up (AWD problems) and I couldn't be happier with the fitment! I might have to add another half degree of camber in the rear to make sure they don't smack the fenders. Stay tuned for more pics coming in the future!
Hey, everyone! I realized I never posted the new wheels on here. Here are my new 3 piece Rotiform ROC with hyper black faces and chrome lips! I loved how my Konig Ampliforms looked but there's just something about these that I think I'll be okay with switching it up.
