nice shiny black, must be the camera or the fact you took those with a lack of sun in the sky looks great btw, can't wait to see what you have planned for it....(no rice please)

EDIT: is that an SRX in the driveway of a suburban home? Hrm, lol now I'll bet you already have a list of things you wanna do to this car? Hehe.

You said it had a few scratches here and there but it looks real good

How many miles on your first car?

Also, consider lowering it, 17's or 18's, and a mirko

If you can pull off clear corners that would be good, but with the exhaust you basically could do it cheap (i noticed you saved up all summer) or spend some decent money on a trubendz or magnaflow set up. You maybe want to try to do the easy stuff first, i.e. optimize TB, get the Y-pipe optimized, change the plugs, clean the UIM/LIM, put some 5w20 synthetic in there, and load er up with 91 octane. Also replace your resonator with 4inch round pipe from magnaflow and drop in your K&N intake and you're set. All of the easy stuff should be a little bit more, but well worth it, plus you really get to know your car that way. Do that and then save up for the expensive mods.

EDIT: A mirko would be nice, very nice to be precise.

it only has 76K miles but the 3rd gear grinds (bad syncro)

and no to lowering...i have to go up and down a big curb in my driveway every day and it would kill my car if it was too low...but YES to 18's...possibly superleggeras or konig Trouble (have to see them on the car) or just a black rim with a chrome lip...

Its going to look like a freaking 4 by 4 with 18's and no lowering.

If you saw the [censored] ive driven over/ up to with 4" of front ground clearance you'd see the light of day.

Trust me, when I first got my CSVT I said id never lower it....
