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

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