I took the first group of pictures the day after I bought this car. The car is completely stock in the first group of photographs.

When  I took the second set of pictures in May 2009, I had installed Rally Armor urethane mud flaps, had the windowns tinted with 3m 35% on the sides and 20% on the hatch window, and installed a Borla exhaust. The car also now has a Kartboy shifter and bushings and stage 1 AccessPort.

Eventually I'd like to install swaybars, endlinks, and possibly springs. I'm not interested in lowering it because I like to take the car on dirt roads. Different brake pads would be nice also. Right now, I'm researching these options. They will probably be the next modifications I make.

Cosmetically this car will not change again unless I eventually get a rotated turbo and FMIC; then, I will buy a hood with no hood scoop and have it painted to match the rest of the car. Engine mods depend on how the engine holds up. If things break and will not be warrantied, I'd like to get forged pistons and change the turbo, etc. If it holds up well, I will probably just add a Cobb downpipe and load the Cobb stage 2 map. The stage 1 map doesn't seem to change full throttle acceleration that much, but it drastically improves midrange driveability with no negative consequences for fuel economy.

The pictures below are how it looks as of July 2009.
