Have not done much with the car outside of new grips on the shifter. Mainly just maintenance things like tightening the steering wheel bolt, changing a wheel bearing and trying to get rid of rattles from the back and the dash.

Here is my instagram for more pics I normally put a couple up a month if I take any.

RIP pictures......

Did get a Ngauge and lund tune, my review below.

Ngauge and Lund Tune Review
Been holding off on tuning and other engine mods for my auto 15 GT for a while but decided to finally get a tune. I did not think a tune would make much difference but I was quite wrong. You always see those silly posts and claims that an intake pipe can add 30hp or a catback can even more but of course that is most likely not the case. I always felt the same way with tunes as it seemed people would exaggerate the power of a tune just like their butt dyno with a new air filter.
I picked up an Ngauge from Team Beefcake (thank you for the fast shipping!) and Lund tune. The process was very quick and I got the tuner and tune in on the day. This was my first experience buying and tuning a car and it basically boiled down to copying and pasting the file, it was that easy.
The Ngauge itself is a nice piece, the screen is a good size and the touchscreen is responsive. The only thing that has cropped up is the glare from the sun makes the screen hard to read a times, not a huge deal but if I have to pick something out there it is. At night the screen is bright and easy to read. It feels like a solid unit and can mount into one of the center AC vents if wanted.
As for the tune, WOW. The first tune right out the gate seems to be pretty darn good, the limiter was moved to 7750 and the shifts are super strong now. I was not expecting a whole lot but now I am spinning 1-2 and 2-3 rarely happened before. The car feels completely different and I can see what people mean now. The car is just nasty now and makes the stock tune look very weak.
Overall I am extremely pleased with both the tune and Ngauge. There are always warranty issues to consider but I was tired of waiting and took the dive. Well worth the money. Again I would always weigh in on the warranty but otherwise it would be one of the top mods on my list.

Since the tune I have purchased the Lloyds red floor mats and of the course the GT350 cluster which is a work in progress. Have been debating about getting headers but I feel like I am already on the edge of pissing a lot of people off where I live (plus the HOA). Too bad there are no decent active exhaust options....

Also considering a driveshaft and harness since the stock seatbelt allows for a lot of movement even with the Recaro seat.

Will get the pics fixed..

I have not done too much after the tune. The main thing I was working on for a while was the 350 cluster swap which is now done.
