SoCal Hatch

[jeremiah.wells]

What up guys, new member here. I have been reading since August 3 when i purchased my 1.4T hatch. Few pics:

So far i've added

20% tints all around
17" powder coat LTZ rims wrapped with BridgeStone Ecopia EP422's
Injen SRI (whoops, wish i would have done my research)
Black window molding from the LS trim models (not pictured)
Sony double din XAV-63 inside Metra's 99-3012G install kit
0 gauge all around with battery to frame upgrade
10" Kickler L7 in a ported box powered by Kickers DX10001 mono amp

Must have upgrades awaiting $$
Exhaust, thinking about going Eric.Smit with it
BNR Tune
Black out the rest of the chrome, i was trying to avoid Plasti Dip. Probably vinyl wrap the bow ties and dip the headlight, taillight, and upper lower grille accents.

speaking of grilles, does anyone know if we will be able to get ahold of the grilles seen on the ricky carmichael concept and some of the other SEMA cars? i like them better than the RS grille, and no one is SURE that the RS grille is gonna fit.

Anyways, glad i joined, and i plan on staying here at least till the 18k i owe on the car is payed off! haha

Welcome! Glad to know I'm inspiring. ;P did you mean exhaust like mine; 2.5" turbo back?

Don't know if the grills will be available, but you could always contact the suppliers of the special edition cars.

Looking good!

Taking a second look at your pictures, do you have a black flash package as well? Looks sharp.

Yup! i have seen some of your Youtube vids, thanks! i was considering buying BNR's catless down pipe and test pipe, then having my muffler shop run straight pipe the rest of the way. What is a black flash package? Side note, are you Army? Im active duty AF myself, currently TDY to Florida missing my car :blankface:

 

[Eric Smit]

I would say don't waste your money on the test pipe and just get the catless and have them do the rest of the pipe after that.

Black flash package is a dealer installed option that changes your chrome grill inserts, mirror caps, and spoiler to black. Orange flash package is orange, etc.

I am Army. There are a couple members from Florida, and a few of them service members.

so i just realized that i most likely did purchase my vehicle with the black flash package. i did wonder why i got the black spoiler when most peoples match their car. i know i didn't pay for it though

 

[Eric Smit]

Also your grill and mirror caps are all black. Mine, see above, are chrome lined and color matched respectively, I would like a black flash package, but not right now. More important fish to fry, you know?
