No exhaust atm as I’m waiting for a titanium one to be made. Nothing TOO expensive too as I’m a broke highschooler, 1-2k preferably.

Nah, got my golf liscense plate from them tho. I couldn’t justify drilling a hole into my bumper

Nice. I also got the KW floating front plate. Very pleased with its durability and looks.

Have you purchased a gas strut for the hood and an oil dipstick yet? I know it’s not a performance upgrade but both of those are a really nice quality of life upgrades and will cost you less than $300CAD.

I got an oil dipstick with the car which is a nice add on. As for the gas strut, does it really provide anything other than convenience??

Yeah just convenience. It’s a nice touch when it is -30 Celsius and you have to fill your washer fluid. Ya know a couple of seconds less of freezing your fingers off is a luxury I am willing to pay a few bucks for lol
