Well thats exactly my point 2k barely gets you a paint job better then macco. Thats why I think its a waste if his paint already looks as good as it does. I never really understood needing absolutely flawless paint (unless it was like a show car), I rather have decent factory paint still intact that is better quality but has a little love here and there.

All that make more sense to me now, I will get a touch up on some flaws it has and then, I will buy all reliability MODS and put them on all at once or one at a time depending on availability, I am about to get a HKS Downpipe, I am looking for a good IC at a good price that will fit in the stock location.

What difference will a PFC do, If I am running stock the only mods is a H flow Cat an Apexi exhaust.

silly noob, search, an aftermarket ecu is one of the best things you can do if you plan on moding your FD at all, it's the next thing I get

Ok finally Got the Downpipe installed, OMG this was not as easy as it looks, I first got all the bolts soaked on DP Blaster / Liquid Wrench, well today I got all bolts out and there was only one stud, the other 3 bolts looked to be ok but I when ahead and got new ones with new lock washers, The downpipe when in easy it line up pretty good with my HF Cat and the Apexi N1 dual. finally Was able to get all 3 bolts back on the only problem was that I had to use an open wrench because the socket was not able to get in there, the space was very tight, because the DP is a full 3", that’s my guess. After 2.5 hours later I got all 3 bolts and the one nut nice and tight. And I did use the locking thingy. My boost is maybe 11 8 11 or maybe I am thinking it is but its running lot stronger and it sounds sweetttttt.
