I only have this one pic right now, i'll try to take more later. Interior is good, no tears just needs a good cleaning.

Really clean. Looks like it just rolled right out of the showroom floor. Lol.... did you figure out the problem why it has that restriction and can't go over 35mph??

Yes, it was the 3rd cat on the downpipe if that's what the pipe is called... So I'm checking out my options for exhausts now... And thanks, I really feel I got a steal with this car

Lol ^^^ well now that it's running good I can start thinking of what I want to do.. I've been doing a lot of reading on the swaps and NA-T setups, I've always been a boost baby but this is gonna be my daily so not sire I wanna even mess with that.. Might just have a nice sounding exhaust, not to loud, and then work on appearance. I'm def leaning towards starting with suspension work... Thanks for the compliments!

Hey i just did that using a girls' hair dryer and the product "Goof off" in a yellow tin, i think there are a lot of similar products as well

I just held the heat on the badge and it popped right off after a couple minutes. i don't believe it's even possible to damage the paint with a hair dryer unless you go really close.

Then i used a tiny amount of the goof off on a q tip and it removed all the leftover residue (there wasn't much) and didn't seem to affect the clear coat at all. The product works extremely well so one drop on the q tip should be sufficient.
