Lots of ideas but not sure where to start!

Looks nice and clean. I like the all fit lip - looks good on the red.

Considering replica LP headlights at all?

CTS insert is here. On sale at Modded Euros for only $30 just waiting on the bushings that I ordered separately

Got lots done today. An old friend from the MK6 forum came by and helped.

We installed the CTS subframe mount which already feels great. Haven't taken it out for an extended drive yet but I'm optimistic. Install was super easy. Jack the car up, remove OEM mount, bolt in the new one. 10 minutes. *edit* took the car out and the mount is awesome. Slight increase in vibration but it just makes the car feel more alive and responsive, much needed mod for any 6MT

Also finally mounted my front lip with the included hardware. The glue was holding up really well but wanted a more permanent solution.

Lastly, car got a complete detail. Washed it really well and finished off with a wax/sealant. Entire car feels like glass!

Thanks! I am definitely considering some rep lights. It was practically impossible to find a car with LP when I was getting mine

Loving the CTS mount. Shifts are so smooth and the NVH has increased just marginally, making the car feel less artificial than it did before. I look forward to driving it every day

I actually like how the PP badges look on the Tornado Red. I was thinking of blacking out the badges with something from Badgeskins but this looks a lot more OEM and still gets rid of the chrome. Any pictures of the full front?

Thanks. Definitely recommend the red. Subtle but looks great. Like you said, I felt like black would just make the badge practically disappear

Went with my gut and ordered the Dieselgeek sigma 6 short shifter! Should be here in a few days
