It didn't take long for the mod bug to take over. First upgrade was Berk Technology HFC (high flow catalytic) and CBE (catalytic back exhaust).

I did i write-up for the exhaust with plenty of pictures. You can read it here,

Next Mod was Swift springs. I installed them near the end of October 2011 just before I put the car into storage. Here's how it looks after the Swift springs were installed,

The next day I drove to SG Motorsports and had them tune the car with UpRev and also fix up my alignment. Here are the results,

While the car was in storage I installed a TWM short shifter and TWM leather shifter boot. I did a DIY for the install. Tons of good pictures here,

Next I ordered a set of Carbon B-pillars from EVO-R. They arrived with a manufactured defect and this began my run of poor customer service with various supporting vendors from this forum. There was zero communication from EVO-R and I needed to file a claim through PayPal. I did eventually get a refund, less the cost of shipping the parts back.

Unfortunately, this defect would not be hidden by and trim and would be visible 100% of the time. This is what the issue was,

When spring finally came (early 2012) I did an extensive restorative detail including full paint correction and applying high heat wax to the brake calipers and wheels. Full write-up with lots of pictures here,
