KTuner v1.2 - 111,000 miles

Notes: This is exactly how the car should have came from factory. Dissabling the AWFUL rev hang is the single best change you can do To change the feel of the car in the best way possible. Also I increased the throttle response which was also a very nice touch and makes you feel more connected to the car... Like your inputs actually mean something. I also added some fun features such as enable launch control and enabled no lift shift which I've been having a blast with. I wish I had flashed the ecu with KTuner the second that I bought the car.
Difficulty to install: Super easy, just plug into OBD2 port AND MAKE SURE TO BE HOOKED UP TO A BATTERY CHARGER so your car doesn't die in the middle of writing data to the ecu (aka BRICK your ecu).

Tein Flez Z Coilovers - 110,500 miles

Notes: SHOUTOUT TO ETHAN FOR HELPING ME INSTALL THESE!!! The car handles like never before. I can be wide open throttle in second gear taking a sharp turn and barely feel the turn. It's also surprisingly comfortable for how stiff it is. I've bottomed out quite a few times on poor conditioned roads, but I've been getting a lot better at dodging potholes and going over speedbumps.
Difficulty to install: Medium/hard - The bolt that holds the strut in the knuckle had to be drilled out on both front sides, as the bolt was seized and snapped.

Wunderladen Rear Motor Mount (street poly bushings) - 109,000 miles

Notes: Can really feel the engine connected to the chassis and shifts in lower gears feel incredibly smoother. Gives the car a more "raw" feeling.
Difficulty to install: Very simple install, especially for an engine-mount related part.

Subwoofer and Amp (Jl Audio cp110-w0v3 10 inch subwoofer + Alpine S-A60M Amp + LC2i) - 107,000 miles

Notes: This was my first time doing any sort of major audio upgrade on a vehicle. I spent weeks, if not months, researching the best parts for what I needed, and the proper install techniques, as wiring/audio isn't something I have much experience with. I was looking to get powerful, clean, full range bass, as the factory sub is criminally awful. I decided to tap into the front speakers at the factory amp output connector, feeding that signal into an LC2i then straight to the Alpine single channel amp. From the amp it goes straight to the 10 inch sub, which sounds incredible. I wanted to go for the OEM+ hidden look, so I took out the foam insert that holds the tools that comes with the car from factory (in the spare tire well) and custom fit the LC2i and Amp in it. Which is completely hidden and looks awesome. I'm very proud of how professional this came out. If anyone is looking to do a similar install and has any questions on how I did it, please reach out and ask me via email (at bottom of page). I will make a diagram to show my whole setup.
Difficulty to install: Because of the fact that I did so much research and planning for this install, I was fully prepared and did it with no issues in about 5 hours.

Acuity shifter cable bushings - 101,700 miles

Notes: Didn't make a 'huge' difference, but definitely stiffened up the feel a little bit
Difficulty to install: Fairly straight forward install, I did have trouble getting out the metal brackets that hold the cables into place, but eventually got them out with some patience

Acuity throttle pedal install - 93,200 miles

Notes: A nice subtle mod. Makes heel-toe downshifting a lot easier
Difficulty to install:Was a very easy 15 minute install

PRL cobra cold air intake - 81,000 miles

Notes: Worth every penny. The sounds that it produces when the turbo is spooling never gets old. Makes me take the long way home every day :)
Difficulty to install: Was fairly simple to install - Had a hard time getting the angled routing pipe to align with the brackets

Acuity Shifter - 80,000 miles

Notes: Also Worth every penny. The feeling is unbeatable. I've never felt a more tighter and better feeling shifter in my life. Whenever im showing someone new my car, I have them sit in it and shift through the gears. Their reaction to how nice the shifter feels is always priceless lol
Difficulty to install: Extremely easy install: Was able to do it after watching a YouTube video on it

MAPerformance cat-back (street version) - 77,000 miles

Notes: My favorite mod on the car! Has a perfect tone, and isn't obnoxiously loud. Recommend to anyone with this car. Can't say enough good things about it!!
Difficulty to install: Very easy with the right tools (a lift and exhaust hanger removal tool). The only pain about it is that the entire stock exhaust is ONE PIECE, making it awkward/bulky when taking it off
