Its a pretty nice car. Real good handling. Its gonna be fun when I get it broken in.

Last night i debadged the trunk. To bad I didnt know it had holes behind the badges...So now I have to take a less than a week old car into the body shop and get the holes filled what crap is that.....

close up the holes from inside of the trunks using duct tape or some epoxy Or you might get rain coming in from there....

I have the holes covered up right now from the inside with black electrical tape. Since the car is black it doesnt look so bad...

Next mod is gonna be an exhaust or taking the resignator out and putting straight pipe in...
