So, did you feel the L-tuned steering ECU difference? I also replaced mine but the effect that I feel is very subtle, at best.
haha man, i am just trying to do my best yes i felt difference with the ecu, mainly at freeway high speed, lots less play in the steering wheel and it's tighter. i was surprised too (as you can see i didn't get the mod for the longest time), but i heard people say that the more suspension stuff you got on the car the more it helps

Very sweet ride you have there BTW.. Did you ever think of molding the UGO kit into your car.. Not that it looks bad the way it is but I think it would look even better molded into the body.. Just a thought..
i sold my old volks already, timing was just perfect which i am very glad about

yeah i DID thought about molding in the body kits specially my car was in the shop. but then i don't want to tie myself down and make it so hard to sell the car (and part it out) later down the road, that's why i haven't done that. who knows, maybe another finishing touch? lol

Default NICE BUDGET PROJECT

MAN,
What a difference a FEW dollars make...HA! Man if I had your BUDGET, I'd throw my REAL cash away. That is a heck of a good job guy!

You are right...It has been raining up here all week so far. I live in Vallejo, and the weather is none too friendly this week yet. I drove up from San Diego on the 22nd, and will go back on the 4th, but I am disappointed at the weather up here this trip.

Congratulations on the car, and the wedding. Let me know when you will be doing the BIG stuff. I wanna shop with you, man!

Yowza! Have to say your car looks a lot better during the day without the darn rain. And I'm starting to warm up to those HRE's.

yeah the body shop did a great job on color matching, they are good for that which i like. but just like other body shop, they always miss something here and there. knowing how picky i am on the details, they were definitely not that happy towards the end i guess

i forgot to say, the ride is awesome! in fact it's so much softer than my 19s coz' the perelli is soft. i love it man

well it's just a matter of time. you don't know how much i have been wanting the wheels for, that's definitely a lot of savings right there hopefully after the new year weather would be clearing up after these wheels my gs4 would be done for a while, but of course i keep everyone posted

haha you caught it at a very bad moment bro but yes it took us a long time to detail the car. we (2 people) spent 7 hours to detail the whole interior, and then another 7 hours the next day to detail the exterior. not to mention the 7-8 hours i spent on installing my xpel kit but it's all good
