-rear sway bar (Hotchkis or APR - same thing from my understanding)
-10mm spacers in the rear (in the garage, install when I get some extended bolts)

On to some pictures... I don't have them for all the things I've done, I didn't keep track of my mods as well as I should have, but lesson to be learned lol.

When I first bought the car: Took delivery on Dec 26 2013, perfect Christmas present :D



My very first mod: very easy to do and you can get the paint from the dealership in aerosol cans.


Took the dealer plate off and put this on to cover those nasty holes...


And tinted my Tail Lights....


Euro Switch installed:


Lowered the car on the H&R springs. Did it in my driveway with no experience whatsoever, and I even had one of the neighbors try to convince me to stop lol




Installed my first intake... and my favorite:


Just my luck..... hahaha


Ugly bumper holes gone! woohooo


Putting on the Samarkands.... IDK why I like these wheels so much....


At the track, LED Tails and EuroJet turboback exhaust installed:


SOWO 2014 (8). 2nd year I went and had an amazing time. Ksport coils were also installed

K04 installed on August 9th, at 4,88** miles. took me and a friend about 14 hours since we pulled the k04 off of one car, and put it on mine, and my stock turbo went on that car lol
Tune to be installed today August 13th. Super stoked.:happyanim:

Thank you sir. I have sold the wheels a while back, but I will try and find some pictures for you.
I should probably update this thread as well, the car looks a bit different now, and I have different mods on it as well
