You do whatever makes you you too.

Appreciate you made it through that without a nap.

Ehance was sort of my point, not just change something because it does nothing but looks cool aka recognized as eye candy . Fewer mods improve and look good. Real easy order parts vs explain how they help. I have mostly eye candy mods,
Whatever makes you happy is fine here, I like to see the creativity.
Not going to get into it with you about what would be both functional and cosmetically pleasing as the latter is purely subjective.

I'm strictly on the side of function > form. If something might make my car faster, it's going on. If it looks great, then that's just a bonus. I don't care if it makes my car look better or worse.

But back to my original point about the wing. It's absolutely not essential. I see a lot of guys slapping on a BAW thinking that it would make them go a lot faster. It doesn't. There is very very little information / data out there proving that it does.

I have argued over and over again regarding this matter and my recommendation will always be the same. Use the money elsewhere.

Yo Guys and any Gals. Long time no post. I Just had my DPW exhaust cutout installed today! Also did mid resonator delete. But might put it back on because there is drone at 65 mph and up. Other wise freaking its loud as it should be now!

Got it, you’re certain big wings are a waste. Who said this as it may explain why they try?
“They could imitate every movement of the wings of those gannets; we thought they were crazy, but we just had to admire the way they could move their arms this way and that and bend their elbows and wrist bones up and down and which way, just like the gannets.“

Might get flamed for this but found a Mishimoto intake for very cheap and decided to buy it and heat tape it to see if it would help with complaints that some people had of it soaking heat. Taped all exterior sides. We shall see...if not, back to the PRL/ K&N

No pics after the 19” replaced OEM 20s because the wheels were replaced at the same time Eibach Pro lowering springs that drop F&R .8” .

I got the TSWs all Matt black from CarID for $703/set here:

A better buy if you like them are my first set not used here:

After a year with the 57DRs I wanted a change and after months and months of debating what would be worth changing up for. I was fairly settled on Titan 7s but kept coming back to a listing for some OG Te37s in red on Evasive's site. I decided if I'm going to go through with changing it, I should go for my dream setup and ordered the TE37s. As far as I know this is the only set in existence, but I could be wrong.

Not sure when I'll get them mounted as we're trying our best to not leave the house and go anywhere. I need to coat them first so I'll do that this week then figure out when/how I want to handle going to a tire shop.

Beautiful build! Quick ? Is the varis lip a direct bolt on, or do you have to drill mounting holes?
