Well when you can trade your reflectors + $50 for a set of projectors, or pay $350 a side? :p

After looking at a couple of photoshops, I like the contrast.

Either way looks good I guess :)

Lovely, very nice mate, are the lights not an exact fit, the one in the pic looks a bit out in the corner. Ive debadged mine as well, looks alot better, tho i havent removed the 190 badges( i likes them ones:rofl: )

How are you finding your new clutch?, obviously its alot better than the factory one. Hasnt been dumped yet either? I only lowered mine 1.5inch and its plenty, well it seems enough im grinding on most driveways. Could also be my rims are black so looks like it fills up the guards a bit more.

Keep us updated with your mods, give me some ideas when i get back from overseas. Nice work mate.

Maf

Nice car mate. Stupid question. You said you removed the MAF. What effect does removing the MAF have?

Thanks.

Removing the MAF forces the engine to use the MAP sensor, and removes a big restriction in the intake pipe.

I'll be doing some dyno testingin 2 weeks, so stay tuned :)

MAF sensor

Apart from just removing the MAF sensor, are there other mods to be done or a tune etc... How does the car run without it? Is this something that is well known and why isn't everyone doing it? Excuse my ignorance I am not entirely car literate. Thanks mate.

It goes against warranty i believe so thats why alot of ppl who have new cars under warranty dont do mafless tuning.
