Haven't really done anything with the car in a while. Trying to figure out some things for school.
Still have my boost gauge waiting to be installed.
Next thing I'm buying is the Diesel Geek SS.
Only thing currently happening, I removed the Lamin-X covers today.

Thanks man.
Honestly, I think it looks better without it. More of a clean OEM kind of look.

This thread really hasn't been updated in a long time. Nothing big has happened.
I did however, get a Billy Boat catless downpipe. Love that thing. In preparation for when I eventually go Stage 2.
Went to Eurotripper yesterday. So, I'll just leave this here.

Also, on a side note, I've been saving up for air. And got an awesome deal on a tank yesterday, so I picked up a polished tank.

It's funny I was thinking it looks weird too. But from the back it looks totally normal. So I don't think so.
Also, in regards to what you mentioned about my lights, my high beams weren't on. All my lights are always on, but the high beams are even brighter. lol
Maybe I just got an unusual car.

Yeah DRL's are off. I honestly don't remember. Perhaps the coding is different on mine than yours?

Quick thread update:
I'm getting really close to being on air. Shooting for the end of April to have my setup done and installed. Only hold up is school. School comes first for me so I just have to make sure I can afford that and then it's home free from there.
What I have so far:
Air Lift 5 Gallon Polished Tank
AVS 3/8 Water Trap
3/8 line
Accuair e-Level with Touch Pad
Viar 444c with SMC check valve
All 3/8 PTC SMC fittings
Air Lift Performance Series fronts
Air Lift Slam Series rear shocks
Air Lift Double Bellow rears
I'm going to start out running one compressor. Honestly, it scares me lol so expect me to be running a second compressor months down the road.
My trunk setup is literally the hardest thing to figure out. I hate the half hidden tank deal, so I'm gonna have my tank fully exposed. Keeping the spare. So I'm gonna go with air line throughout for now, when I figure out my tank setup in the next couple months, expect to see my trunk setup with hard lines lol
Luckily today was my birthday, so I might have a little spending spree
And haven't sent my taxes off yet, so there's more help. lol

Bags will be installed in April. Everything is ordered, should be here by next week.
Parts collection:
Tank and compressor are all setup and ready to go.
At this point the only thing I'm missing is the rear bags, rear struts and a couple of extra fittings.

Why do you need new wheels? Can you space the detroits out a little bit to sit more flush?
