Hey all, made an introduction post last week but decided I'd like to keep a nice timeline of the modifications and dates of changes to the car so figured it's own build thread would be a good idea. I'll hopefully be updating this post regularly as it goes through various iterations. Would love to hear some recommendations and feedback, as I've been scouring the internet for inspiration and I have a pretty extensive list started. Nothing special as of yet but it will slowly come together piece by piece. Glad to be a part of the community.

This was the day I collected the car. Besides the AEM intake the came with the car, the first thing to get slapped right on were the White/Black UR Rally Armor Mudflaps. Was between that and red but couldn't really find pictures of a white on white and decided to take the gamble on them to set it apart a little. I think it paid off well.

Dropped the car off in the morning at A&S Installation in Pennsylvania to have window tint applied by a friend of mine. Decided on 15% on the4 side windows, and went all the way down to 5% on the rear hatch, really loving the way it came out. Didn't mind going super dark on the back since we can barely see out of it to begin with and the backup camera is a life saver. I opted not to touch the windshield as I might be adding a vinyl banner in the near future. Also picked up a generic carbon fiber license plate surround as I wanted to get rid of the awful dealer chrome one that came on the car.

Tackled installing the Redline Tuning hood dampers I picked up from SoCalGarageWorks. A relatively in-expensive modification that really gives you some more space to move around in the engine bay, and takes all the work out of lifting the hood. Install took about 5 mins with a 10, 12 and 13mm socket. Also happened to find out the previous owner rolled the fenders so looks like I've got some extra room for activities.
