Now I know a guy that works on a lot of muscle cars and he actually builds his own superchargers and is getting into turbos as well. This guy has crazy amounts of knowledge on cars. His input on throttle body spacers is it really depends on the car the difference it will make. He has seen instances where they make a big difference and some where it makes a very very minimal impact. Pretty much the only way to know is once its put on and seen on a dyno.

Its a three piece wheel look. IE: It's trying to look like a very high end, expensive wheel.

Not a fan myself either.

I have actually really come to like the VSR wheels jtk2 used to have on his car. I was really dead set on black rims but I really like the way those looked on his car.

Nothing big but I added the mud guards to my car. I like that they are small all i really care about or at least am hoping for that it will help just enough with getting the bottom of my car so damn dirty when it rains

^should of gotten Rally Armor Mudlfaps, on my opinion they look and really protect your car from any kind of dirt or gross things. Crazy story, i was driving with my brother late at night coming back home. I was searching for a song when all of sudden my brother yells, "watch out!" then i hear a thump. I asked him what he saw, i ran over a _____ raccoon and most of the blood splattered on the mudflap, a few dots on the car but not bad. It was so gross, so glad i went with Rally Armor lol!

The install was painless. Well as long as you either have a tool to remove push pins or ones to replace them.

In the front no drilling is required just take out 2 screws and a pin, replace those screws and then put the screw given to you with the mud flaps in.

In the back it is just as easy you will see 2 dimples where you need to drill the holes. Drill those holes on each side and pull out 1 pin. Put that pin back in and use the 2 screws given to you.

All said and done the total install took about 5-10 min. You can luckily go in at just a tiny angle to drill the holes in the back so you dont need to take the wheels off.

The mudflaps worked very well I notices much less dirty water splashed up on the bottom of my car. Very much worth the money and they are small enough not to look stupid either
