So I still haven't done much. Today I had an idea of sectioning off my fire/ EMS gear to the back of my trunk, SO i installed a net. It was pretty easy to install $20 bucks from Advanced auto.

I bought Brake Dust Pro off of Dipyourcar.com and it worked truly amazing.


Its a touchless wheel cleaner, spray it on and hose it off

Ah I understand. The head unit looks sick, I wanna do something like that. And I need new headlight housings.. They're yellowed and won't come clean even with a buffing and headlight cleaner :/

Odd for someone in EMS to not comply with driving laws, but as long as you're happy...

For your exhaust is it really rowdy when it's idling and/or do you get any drone driving at highway speeds? I want a little oompph for when I step on it, but when I'm not I want it to be quiet like stock.

yeah of course, only if you're always on the gas. You're not going to get no drone with any modification

alright one more question with regards to the exhaust you chose. why 14830 over the others since they're generic and did you cut your bumper to accommodate the tips?

Well cuz when I looked up fitment for my car on the websites, 14830 was generic from what I saw. It didn't seem to be a product made specifically for our car. Though I might have read things wrong. Thx for the help!

Oh now i got ya, well most magnaflows are generic because it wouldn't make sense to make custom ones just for our cars. so with a little cutting and welding this one fits and sounds amazing. you're gonna have to do that with all muffler changes unless is specifically a bolt on which will cost big bucks
