so currently in the process of finding out why my car just doesnt feel right........ i have a full exhaust, cai, my compression has been raised and i feel like its stock.... the vacuum lines going to my egr valve has been blocked so my car is always running lean.... im not sure if vics is working i can kind of feel it but i dont know when its supposed to kick in. and i feel as though the ignition timing is off but i dont want to set it until i get my egr system working correctly

those emblems look sweeeeeeet! With that being said since your car is black I would of only did the "mx-3" part of the emblem and not the whole thing as the black around it would of blended with the car paint but thats just me :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Did you clean it with something oil based? Plastidip doesn't like to stick to anything like that.
