I took the stock exhaust off in under 20 minutes. Had to modify the stock cat heat shield to get the exhaust to bolt up. But 2 hours later I had it all done. Didn't even have to jack the car up.

I'll get pictures and sound clips when I get my camera from my mom's house.

You got that on without jacking up the car?!? At all?

I know you aren't a big dude, but seriously.

It's less than an arms reach from the side of the car to where the exhaust bolts to the cat. I just had to get my shoulder and arm under the car to get to 'em. The rear of the car has lots of room to slide under and get the hangers out. There isn't any large bends in the exhaust so I just slid it under the car, used a small box to get the exhaust to the right height and bolted it into place. I'm 6'0 180lbs.

That's not the Key Hole. It's the button to open the trunk. I've never debadged a car, It's not something that I think needs to be done.

No, I decided against the RPF1s because I wanted a different look than what I had on the MS3.

What Winter? All we have here is slightly cooler weather that makes owning a Turbocharged car that much more enjoyable.

I almost bought 275 wide tires. But I couldn't get a definite answer if I would have to roll the rear fenders or not. 50% of people who went with that size had to roll the rears, 50% didn't. I really don't feel like messing with rolling the fenders so I decided to just get the 265's, which are still 20mm wider than stock.

I have factory wheel locks, so today I went through the car looking for the Key as my wheels will be here Monday. After not being able to locate it I called my wonderful (sarcasm) dealership and asked them where it would be in the car.

"In the tool bag in the Jack compartment" is what they told me.

Ran back down to the car and tore apart the truck again looking for the tool bag in the trunk. Funny story, all the tools are located in the Styrofoam next to the spare tire. No tool bag. I call back and of course it's after 2pm and everyone has already gone home in the service department and the sales department doesn't know where the key would be.

I'm think they never put the Key in the car and come monday when I go to get the wheels put on I'm going to be S.O.L. and have to wait for a key to arrive.

You could always be mad, gangsta car-jacka and just break the locknut off. :lol:

That sucks, man. Hopefully you can find the key.
