MS3 that I can't drive =(

[knokout5]

Hey everyone,

I've been roaming around this forum for a lil while now, but never got around to posting too many things. I got a sweeeeet new 09 MS3 back in July. Keeping it pretty much stock for now as far as engine mods go, and slowly doing appearance mods to her. I just sold my honda cbr for a little more time with my speed =)

So far I have a homemade home depot lip, yellow laminx, sub box in the trunk. And I JUST put on some 35% tint all around last Saturday, but I just had to BREAK MY LEG playing basketball a couple hours later. So I'm in the no-drive phase for now with crutches. Dying to have some fun in a couple months..Anyways, here are some snapshots of her. Tell me what you think and/or suggestions!

Welcome, and sorry about your leg. Nice ride

Congrats on the car, sorry to hear about your leg. Standard recommendations I think are a must, shifter bushings (short shifter optional) and rear motor mount. Also a rear sway bar helps a lot.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Good lookin' ride. Take care o' that leg. You were only issued two.

There's a lot of info if you look up Home Depot lip on the forums, or HD lip. It's just a garage door seal that you buy at home depot or lowe's, comes in a 9 or 16 ft package, and you use 3m double sided tape to stick it on. It's actually pretty flimsy, so what I did was bend some paper clips into the shape of the lip, and double-side tape it onto the underside of the lip so that it doesn't bend down due to wind. i don't think most people do this so theirs starts to fold downward with time. you could probably use some thin sheet metal or something if you find any.

more pics!
