I'm game for pretty much anything
I did, they told me either get HPTuners or send the PCM Back, which would include shipping to and from the USA and demodding then remodding my car. Lame.

I wasn't overly impressed with ZZP, My HE came with a bunch of bent fins, crappy belt and bouncing idle and that was the only solution they had.

That's what I've been considering, from what I've read he sacrifices slight performance to be on the safe side while still delivering really good power which I am fine with. Gotta wait till spring though don't I?

^^^if you're thinking of going trifecta, Projekt occasionally swings through Calgary - so look him up.

he has expressed in the past that he's willing to drive out to tune, but needs to have enough people to make it worth while.

That'd be great, is it mandatory to wait until spring to tune? I'm guessing the cold weather would screw with it.

I need to get an interceptor to so I can have a better KR detector than my scangauge.

If you know what kind they are I can check where I work. You know brand, model, and such. Regardless of price, I would get a staff discount. The thing is we generally deal with commercial lighting and industrial, so the bulb you need we may have to order in. I'd be willing to look into it for you tho.

Picked these up from the post office today. The girl at the post office was like... "is this really yours? the car bumper?! What the hell". Kinda rough shape, but I need to get them painted green anyway.

Not sure yet... I'll wait till my high rise comes then take them all to get a quote. Not sure if I'll even put the wing on right away, but might as well get it painted at the same time for a better chance of it matching. I'll probably head to Davis for a quote as well cause they painted basically the entire driver's side of my car for my accident repair and it's flawless.

Congrats Acey!

I didn't know that the post office will ship items that big! ~ where did they come from?

Have you already sourced the correct rear lip inserts?

... I guess this means you're keeping your car for the long haul huh?

Yeah I decided to keep my 2.4 and just do appearance mods this year while I have my warranty still, since a couple of things have gone wrong (airbag sensor, second gear crapped out, etc.) Next year I'll think about a ZZP M62 or turbo kit. Still probably about 6 weeks till these go on, I need to order clips from GMPD and I haven't decided if I'll get the grills or do something custom because I'm toying with turn signals or reverse lights in the lip. Just a rough idea at this point.

I did... it's on the way... but today I basically decided against it. Really don't want to draw more attention to myself. I'll keep it in my garage and maybe get it done at some point down the road, or sell it to a white 2.4 owner since it's brand new. Dropped off the front and rear lip at Speedy Paint, guy said it would be $200-$250 for the lips + spoiler, I ended up dropping off just the lips so it should be less than $200. Davis guy estimated it would be $500-$600? What the hell?
