There's no CAI on the car, which makes me believe there's no tune. Maybe the previous owner ordered the JBA exhaust from a website that would sell this badge?

yea watch out for that water leak from the passenger kick panel. I had that problem from my 06, but it was an easy fix.

Previous owner might have taken the CAI and the tune out before selling it.

Nice car btw, like those fanblades. Have fun!

Is it an auto or a manual?

Get a shorty antenna! they cost less than 15$ from autozone and look 100x better than the huge factory one. 8-14 inches looks great and functions fine

Good call. That will be done later today.

Tints and possibly powdercoated wheels hopefully soon as well....

Dremmel tool, a pair of pliers, super glue and you can shorten the antenna yourself!

Psh, lazy.

It was $10 at Autozone for the 13 inch black shorty. I'm satisfied .

So, I got the shorty antenna and removed the unwanted badge.

My next steps are to get tints (I'm thinking 35 pct - don't want to get hassled about it). Also, with HID kits, can anyone recommend a good one? One that is a simple plug and play installation that actually INCREASES visibility instead of decreases visibility just to look cool. I had an eBay "HID" set in my old car and the thing sucked ***, but was blue.

I'm thinking hint of blue headlights with yellow fogs or maybe just the same thing in the fogs.
