U put down 430whp stock? Isn't that a bit high, not a complaint, just curious without zcp?

TBH I don't even remember where I ordered it from. It's basically just a stock emblem wrapped with a layer of carbon from my understanding. It then comes with color stripe decals you have to PAINSTAKINGLY apply, but other than that all was good. Love the subtle look it gives.

Updated OP w/ more pics of install and whatnot. Also, next Thursday I'll be getting Dinan Intake, Exhaust, and Stage 2 Tune, so expect more updates then as well.

How much did the Dinan stuff all cost? 4k+?

Dealership quote for parts and install was like $8800-ish. Getting it done for $2000 less at BPC (with before/after dyno and some coding), and seeing how I sold my Stock wheels/tires after putting these VF103s on, it's basically around $4300 out of pocket for me, which I can live with.

I know, I KNOW I can get more power for less money, and all that yadda yadda, but I plan on keeping this car and have ALREADY paid for the 7yr/120,000 extended warranty, so I see no point in voiding that if I don't have to.

Besides, I know that no matter how much power I make, it'll never be enough...so I'll just get this reliably safe tune and call it a day.

That's true, good thinking~
