Default EBP EM1 mild build

Just picked up an all stock clean title EM1, rear bumper has some damage but is getting repainted this week, along with a few other issues. But overall runs great, came with a stack of service receipts and is pretty decent looking.Just wanted to keep all my pics in one place and hopefully show some foward progress. So far only things I have added are OEM front license plate plugs, new OEM shift boot, and a skunk 2 shift ****, replaced the windshield and polished the headlights, though I now see I need new headlights. Next up is OEM front lip, and a very mild non dumped drop.

Couple of small picture updates sk2 **** installed (haven't put the shift boot in yet)



Also picked up a PJDM whale dick in eh shape for 60 bucks but figured why not (filter clamp hadn't been installed yet) will probably be the only "performance mod"


And snapped in my delete plugs

Congrats man, welcome to the EM1 crew! Looks like a good start for sure.

You should pop in and check out my EBP build and tell me what you think (Shameless plug here haha)

Good choice with the Koni Yellow/GC setup, its a good tried-and-true way to go. I was going to go this route, but got a killer deal on a set of Tein Type Flex instead.

Let me know what you think about them once you get a little seat time with them!

Wheels will be the only exterior mod, unless I can find an oem rear lip, and mine can with a wingless trunk so unless I find a second trunk/wing combo it will stay wingless
