First thing I did was order the parts needed to fix all of those issues. The repairs were quick and painless - that cup holder was quite expensive! Added in some fresh fluids, too. I then had the windows tinted - the only thing I've hired out for.
Next thing done was a 7" touchscreen (center mount with new bezel) with backup camera that was installed in place of the stock head unit. Bluetooth and phone integration is great! At the same time, I installed canbus compatible LED lights into every interior and trunk area that was using incandescent bulbs. I also did the headlights and got them properly aimed - huge upgrade from a visibility standpoint when night driving. I also installed OEM fog lights into the factory housing, but haven't been into VIDA yet to activate them via software.
I contacted BSR and ordered the Stage 1 tune and tuner, really pleased with that but wanted more power. So, I ordered a 16T turbo and billet 11+0 compressor wheel
In preparation for the install of this, I've done full replacement of ignition coils and spark plugs. I've also ordered a 3" downpipe, Snabb intake, upgraded diaphragm for the CBV and a heavier spring to hold the boost. I'm considering doing the do88 intercooler at the same time, but will probably install that later.
I snagged some Pegasus wheels off of a salvaged S60R (18") for $300!!! They were beat to hell, though, with curb rash on every single wheel. I hit them with heavy grit sand paper to smooth things out, did some light fill/blend work and then my daughter and I scuffed all of them up real nicely to prepare for primer and refinish. I used 4 coats of black, heavy-fill primer. Light scuff. Then, 3 light coats of Hyper Silver with 1 wet coat of Hyper Silver. In highsight, I wish I had done a 2nd wet coat. Once that dried, I hit it with 3 light coats of clear and 1 wet coat of clear. I'll probably add another layer of clear in the near future when temps warm back up. But, very pleased with the work that I put into it - the $300.00 set now looks like a proper new set.
