Definately nay because you got red paint on your tire and didn't tape off the spokes correctly so the red paint overlaps the black.

AKA it looks like it was half-assed, not being mean, just sayin.

Shes almost back! Finally after 5 days shes back down on all four!

New bracket came in today from Baer. Also put in a new set of NGK V power plugs. Just waiting on my new taylor wires to come in today as well and she will be ready to fire up!

Never noticed that 3 LEDs that contribute as the brake lights also contribute as "side markers."

you have a manual transmission, baer brakes, blue plug wires, but still use the stock accordion intake pipe???

i'd figure your blue loving little butt would have some powder coated blue CAI pipes. i guess you're afraid of running through a deep rain puddle

and hydro locking the engine.

Regardless, you will dislike how the SC/T kit looks on a stock GA with stock wheels, unless you get spacers for the stock wheels the SC/T kit will look off since you do not have aftermarket wheels. Not to mention your car isn't lowered so it'll look even more off.

IMO any car no matter how clean the lip/body kit, looks weird with stock wheels, dunno why but it just doesn't look complete. You need aftermarket wheels. Spacers on our stock wheels help alot to make it look much better which is why I'm getting 22mm spacers so my stock wheels will stick out more but also my aftermarket wheels will stick stick out as well. Makes me more comfortable putting stock wheels back on over the winter once my SC/T kit is on so it won't look as weird.

Just some food for thought, you might not like how the car looks at stock height, stock wheels, and the SC/T kit.

Case in point. Doesn't look bad but doesn't look right either.
