Well as the title says

I have done a lot and a lot of research about the modifications that I can do to my vehicle. I wanted to give back by at least saying thank you to all the awesome members here who had to
put up with my repeated silly questions LOL and guided me step by step to make sure I understood everything. From engine tuning to exhaust work to visual mods to wheels and suspension etc etc. Again thanks a million.

Car is now done the way I always wanted it and thought I'd share pictures. If you have any questions please feel free, I will help as much as I could just like everyone here did for me.
#Grateful

Sam

congrats on the car!

Ebay. It was a Chinese made kit. Honestly I was scared that it would be cheap stuff and finish would be terrible but surprisingly the material and finish was top notch. Yes it is not OEM quality but it is also $2000 cheaper. Kit was $500 shipped and included diffuser and tips along with few other parts to make it work.
