It hooks up to my 02 sensor and IAT sensor and is adjustable for performance or gas milage..... no i didn't buy it off ebay or any other crap internet rip-off.

As far as the red and black tint yes, i did realize that and the back windows are now tinted red to match as well, but I don't have that pic on here yet.

I don't get it, unless my car doesn't look like yours it's a POS... FYI I hate fast and the furious.

Cons:

The flames come on now how old and played out are those now especially if they are not airbrushed!

The headlights look misplaced maybe if you paint them the same color as the car.

The center caps they speak for themselves.

The gas door should be painted!
Headlights were a pain in the arse... what do you mean by paint(rubber trim)? I've been trying to get them to sit right for a while.

Lol at the center caps... i'm open to suggestions on that one.. the chrome chipped off em, I was thinking going black or re-dipped.

Gas door should or should not be painted?

This chip you have is basically a more expensive version of what we are talking about.

You waisted your money the only possible way to tune these cars is with a tuned pcm anything else is just a scam.

Paint the fuel door!

And nick-g is correct you just got owned by a fake "CHIP". go to this webite for the real PCM TUNE http://www.mpracing.org/

We are a little negative but in a good way. Think of it like as concealing to the modified inept individuals.

As for the wheel center caps get them re-chromed or powdercoat all 4 wheels gloss black or black chrome (<---- in love with black chrome.) Including the center caps of course.

Can you show us what it is/where you got it? Nothing outside of a custom PCM has ever been able to adjust the fuel/timing of these cars before.

Woah, if you think my statement was negative you wont last here very long...

I was merely trying to point out the fact that as others have said, you cant tune the car with anything other than HPTuners, DHP, or ordering a custom tune from MPRacing, WOTech, etc.

God eye A.J. I though mine were playing tricks on me..

The flames are what's killing me. But, yeah. If you are going to do the windows in red, then get ALL of them done that way.
