Default My Christmas present... kinda

So for Christmas I tried to get my parents to get me a CAI and tune but they said they won't pay for performance parts because they think I don't need anymore power. Instead they said they'd pay for racing stripes, they ended up only pitching in $250. So it's kinda a present I guess.

Looks great! You know those stripes will net you 10HP on the ol' butt dyno.

Thanks, the stripes were supposed to be 12" but they're 11.5" because apparently the right opening on my hood is 11.5" and the left is 12". I think the gap is 2".

I do need some rims but I need to get the CAI and tune first cause I've already spent too much money on appearance. And being in college my income right now is all of $0. Birthday money that was being saved for the CAI paid for the stripes so I'm hoping I get enough money for Christmas to get close to the CAI.

Nice!
That looks really good man. That chin spoiler and hood go very good together.
and for some reason, I think the stock wheels look good on your car.
