    lol, just HAD to add a few more zeros to that, huh. Cause I still can't figure out why he's so excited about an airbag. The black carpet I can understand..... and of course getting the airbag for free. OH, I get it! cbass can sell the airbag for a huge profit. Good thinking.

    Oh, you managed to find a steering wheel without the airbag. That works! So, what's the total price you've spent on the wheel and airbag together?

    That is now officially the lowest price ever for that steering wheel upgrade. You deserve a medal.

    Should look good once you slam it on some baller wheels.
    That makes anything look good.

    the gap between the hood and top of front bumper caught my attention at first but maybe its more noticeable b/c there is no grill installed.

    x2, I still think you can easily remove that top bar thing on the bumper.... otherwise your works all looks great!

    I don't really like the center part of the bumper how it curves up like that, almost looks like you have a lip and you scooped out the center of it.

    That muffler sounds good to me.... you can hear the engine/intake and the tires once he drives away. Usually, the muffler just drowns everything else out. So you can tell it's not super loud.

    Yep, HKS (like any good exhaust) is expensive! And there are indeed "non silent" and "silent" versions.
