car looks nice...T1R is a great exhaust from what the threads have said...im looking to get a dual dolphin myself on my '05

enjoy! as far as the price goes...

i would have offered $10,000 so yea considering everything is excellent condition and clean carfax...you got a deal with the extras you received on the car.

Just make sure you take car of her, in Miami they steal the seats so depends on where you live...so get a nice alarm (Clifford G5 is what i have) and some different seat bolts. i have allen key bolts on the front and i filled the holes with a rubber compound. should deter the rookie thieves and at least slow up the professionals...lol

if your worried about rain...lose the CAI and grab a FIPK. Mine arrives tomorrow, so i will let you know how it is... supposed to be great bang for the buck mod.

dude - don't worry about the rain - you'd have to drive through a seriously deep puddle to hydrolock..

don't worrie about the intake I've driven in so much rain that you can barly see the car in front of you and never had a problem. If ur filter is submerged in water then you might get hyrdolock but that's rare. If ur that worries about the rain get a filter that aem makes it's a insert. And the aem v2 is the best bang for the buck. It is dyno proven to make the most power in that price range. If u go on s2ki and do research the aem v2 makes just as much power and helps out with the mid range more then any other sub1000 dollar intake.

By the way ur car is like a clone of mine lol... O1 spa with 54 but I have invidia n1 exhUst with a invidia tp and same intake as you. If you plug up the hole right where the fender meets the hood inside the engine bay you can block up to 80% of the water. So if u park ur car and ur scared of hydrolock this will help you out a lot. Just join s2ki and read and research all of your info. That's the best advice I have for you.
