very true Mr.kenchan, but after I finish the install, I drove the Audi to run my errands. Just now I really got a taste of it: a trip to supermarket.

It feels pretty good, not as loud as I expect, but I notice a low-end gain.

It's only the first drive, I think the real.performance should comes up after 100km.

Will keep you guys updated.

Alcheng, that looks fantastic! Thanks for the DIY tips! I agree with Kenchan that you must be to test drive!

FI exhaust recieved today, ()but have to wait until Saturday to install.

Alcheng - You know there will be pics to follow! Clips too? (*sigh*) I suppose. Gawd, are you kidding? Of course I'd be happy to do so!

Gurney - Does the piece have a layer of clear on it, or is it in raw form? Can't wait to see some pics!

Do you ever sleep mr. happy?

The spoiler has a thick coat of gloss clear on it. It really looks awesome.

Man, I would've waited for the driver and made him hand over his keys. "No sir, this is not a car jacking its a rescue mission"

Good morning everybody!

Zmaster - I did the calipers on my mx-3 way back in the day and they were perfect until the day I sold the car. If you take care and do it right, it should look great. In for pics when you're done tho! :tup;
