you'll love your Teins, trust me

The #1 mod on my chitbox was the installation of my Flex's, no doubt.

I bought everything from my local race shop in Sacramento, Motorsport Dynamics.

PG - $675
Tein SS-P's - $1250
Injen CAI- $275

I could have found a better deal, but I prefer to get everything from one place, plus they do a good job. Im dropping it off at the shop tomorrow to get installed I cant do any mechanical work on my car at my apartment complex which sucks bc I could do the suspension myself, but oh well..

Install they're charging $350 to do the Intake (3-4 hr) Suspension and camber kit(3-4hrs + adjusting). Most shops charge around $75 bucks an hour. If I was living at home still I would just bring it to my boys house and get it all done, but this way I know its done right. I didnt want to cut any corners with this car. Plus my work schedule is crazy, I work 6 days a week and I would honestly rather spend my day off relaxing with my gf
Its carzy, I havent even got my licence plate in yet!!! hahah I was just too excited and couldnt wait any longer.

I agree, but they said that the bumper has to come off and a few things... I not exactly a direct replacement.. But its cool.. $350 for everything is not bad at all.. And oh yea, that includes an Alignment!

the ride is very smooth... A lil bumy when the road is rough, but im going to get it turned on Monday. As far as the height, its about 1 finger gap in the front and a lil less in the back. Im not sure if this height is very practical. The speed bump in front of my apartment building slightly rubs on my exhaust

here are some pics of her clean!! And oh yea, the sound at WOT is addictive!!
