Thank you for the response and I do agree! As for schooling I’m not going to college and actually just got a promotion at my job to head of material handling in our pipe fabrication shop!!

Also I'd read up on upper induction cleaning/intake valves on direct injection engines.

Will do! Thanks for the input

I’d drive it.... Save your money and enjoy the car. Unless you have a disposable income and a scholarship.

Not really disposable income but I do still live with my parents so bills aren’t completely taking all of my paychecks and No schooling for me, just got a promotion at my job to head of material handling in our pipe fabrication shop. Making $16-18/h now!!

hey nice ride! I like the color. lol. I would stick with cosmetic upgrades for now except for a CAI and a catch can. as for cosmetic mods, you can do a lot by yourself. you can paint your engine cover. Add some accent decals, and do a bit on the inside. her are a few pics of my car. you will love driving the car everyday. have fun but be safe.

Love your car man! The inside is amazing looking. The rally stripe, did you make it go all the way to the bumper and top of the cab or did it come like that?! Also those rims are

the stripes came on the car, the hood, roof, trunk, also, down the front and back sections. I put them on the splitter. you can get the decals for the inside pretty cheap. I can get you the link where I bought them if you want. I went with bigger wheels and tires. the front wheels are 20 X 9 and the back are 20 X 10.5.

Oil change, transmission fluid change, differential fluid, radiator fluid, washer fluid, power steering fluid.

Save the rest for a Range AFM eliminator and a CAI cold air package.

I vote hang on to the grand for a couple months and get to know the car first.

Once your comfortable that it’s reliable, then mod away
