Rigo, how'd your pictures turn out? Mine were... meh. I got a couple decent ones, but nothing to get too excited about.

I definitely need to figure out what to do about the front license plate though. Now that I've seen a few without it it's driving me nuts.

The mount is easy to take off, you should take it off now before your plates get there.

Yeah, just did actually. Much better now.

I think when the plates get in, I'm just going to attach it to the passenger side sun visor. Plus, my wife doesn't like the "hole"y sun visor design, so this way it will block all the light. Win-win.

yes i am getting it tuned. i bought it from TeamRx8 and he was awesome and said hed help tune it all up for me so we will start working on that once i get the midpipe installed.

i think i got the install down as well i just need to figure out how im going to get the car lifted enough. I tried my friends ramps but it didnt give me enough room to do it all and im a bit scared of doing it while the car is only on jacks. I have a friend whose dad owns a shop so i think hes going to let me use one of his automatic lifts.

Oh and you should be SUPER picky about who tunes your car. No quicker way to **** your engine than a busted tune. TeamRX8 is pretty smart but I would go to someone who is known for tuning rotaries that does it for a living (Steve Kan). Your dad will realize you weren't at home though

You trust him because he tunes his own car lol. I trust my banker because he handles his own finances too.

Only one jack stand lol? That's like getting one shoe from the mall

Yea that's why I said "if I didn't know better". I really think you need to do a LOT more research before you mod your dads car.

do you guys think it would be safe if i jacked the whole car up using the 2 jack spots under the car and then placing stands under on the sides? and would i be able to install my midpipe like this or would the rear jack spot get in the way?
