Are you planning on venturing further down the rabbit hole or are you going to stick with what you’ve got for a bit?

Stage 2 (+meth) or straight to big turbo? More suspension goodies & chassis stiffening?Much further.

Do you have any video of your sequential tails? I’ve got the OEM euro tails and love them, but I’d love to see your sequential euro tails in action.

I'll be going with the Stage 2 HPFP that Unitronic offers, and most of the bolt-ons they offer. There will for sure be more suspension and chassis stuff coming, I also still have my old Unibrace from my last car to install. Also have plans for wheels and tires, aesthetic mods, and some repainting and body repair stuff. Just need time and $$$
From there I'll be focusing on the wagon I think.
I don't have a video on me but I can get one for you by next week if thats alright.

Nice on the future plans! Damn money always getting in the way of mods.
I’ve consumed the meth koolaid and I spray with Snow. I’m not tuned for it, but it really makes a huge difference when you’re heat soaked.
That works for me!

I'm certainly not against the meth gains. Especially down here in Florida. In fact we carry a lot of meth stuff I think... Just never really considered it because I'm not sure how necessary it'll be. I can always reevaluate later down the road of course.
Cool I'll PM you when I grab a video!

Body work and paint getting a bunch of stuff fixed and modified. Lots of rust getting repaired (cars from Iowa), reflectors in the front bumper getting paint matched, full hood respray, full front and rear bumper respray, fixing a door ding, repairing my side skirts, fixing my grill. Lot going on!
I also have a set of coilovers, wheels and tires to go on. Also waiting on my exhaust to be built and shipped out.

Just a question, with all that body work and painting going on why didn't you just shave the side markers off completely? It shouldn't be more than 2-3 hours of labor ($100-200 depending on your area) to fill the holes since they are already repainting the cover. I mean, I work in the industry, so I know what you are likely paying for that work and that's gotta hurt, but just a smidge more while it's already being done.

Really just personal preference. They offered to paint match them for free since they would be respraying most of the bumper. You're right about dead-on for the cost though.
I can always go back and decide to have them shaved and filled later though.
