Thank you, @JonnyRotten. I am beyond excited.

I bet you are @MrsJrotax101!
I'm trading my 2012 for a 2014 as I'm sure you've read. It's nice getting a new car.
Enjoy your new whip!

Red's NICE...... Congratulations

 

[ClearCutSi]

Finally ! Haha. Welcome to the club.

 

[ClearCutSi]

Better get that slacker @jrotax101 to seal this bad boy up. Stat!

 

[jrotax101]

Never coated a car before man. I can do regular sealant, but thats all. It beads pretty well so has some natural protection on right now, but nothing like a hardener.. Need an otown trip.. but that won't happen for a while :-(

Money concerns aside, what is your order of attack for mods?

 

[ClearCutSi]

@jrotax101 I might possibly want to take a trip up there with the Trek. I'll bring supplies, if I do it'll be in June.

 

[Sleepingpanda]

Woooooooooo congrats!!

My birthday is in June! \o/

Dechromification

That is what I was looking for!

If you would like, I can send you my old K&N filter...if I can find it.

I think the car looks SO much better debadged.

[MrsJrotax101]

That's right!

@squiggy
The main priority is to reestablish our financial independence.

This isn't my car, but obviously I have some input. No crazy mods will be done until the car is paid off, but the list I'd like to see is:

Red emblems
Tint
Retrofit
BC short shifter
Mugen visors
Rear ARB
Suspension - Redshift street or Motion Control Suspension (we'll see how this works out.. MCS would have to be after the car is paid off.) Maybe a slight spring drop for now.
Wifes choice of wheels
Subtle exhaust

I'm sure Christina has her own ideas, but the above are ones I think she'd agree with, alongside her own little mods.

 

[MrsJrotax101]

Ah yes. Retros are a biggie

 

[squiggy]

@jrotax101

Definitely agree on the financial independence. I have had to shelve the idea of suspension for a while until we get a good plan in place to pay off some student loans among a few other financial goals. I have done a TON of stuff to my car already though and some more mods can wait for a while. I have already determined that I will need to get steelies and winter tires this year. So there is that. I will most likely be close to needing new tires after The Dragon this year. I will want some new wheels at that time too.
