    Already chipped and tuned; wish I would know which company tuned it but wasn't told. It hold 18 psi with no issues. sits on H&R springs. Looks good the way it is. Took it to the tracks one day to see how well it'll hold up.

    couple days after I bought it




    Here am I at a local Auto cross competition.

    Looks good to me!! Nearly identical to mine except I (unfortunately have a OEM spoiler). If those are just springs on stock struts you should consider getting struts to match or coilovers (don't cheap out). Keep up the good work though!

    Wonder what the difference in drop from the springs that came with the car to what you have now? You will be fine running those shocks as they are sport shocks for the OEM sport springs that came with the car.

    My left n middle grille won't stay on because of the piping n intercooler; had to trim the inside of the bumper cover a bit. I parked my gli one day next to a co worker's and his sits about 1.5 higher. Yeah, don't kno what is coming up next but il keep you fellas updated
