At the body shop now. Ride height appears fine. I guess it's in my head. Couldn't get it on a lift though.

I'll still have my dealer take a look when I go in for an oil change.

They told me. When I walked in the dude was kinda cagey with the tape measure. We'll see what my service guy says Saturday.

I mean this should be VERY obvious if you can measure it, and it is actually crooked by 1" you should be able to easily replicate it. Unless it was parked on a hill or whatever.

Got back from the dealer for my 10k oil change and they gave it a once over. They brought the senior tech over to check it out and he said everything looks to be put together correctly. Alignment is still within spec and my service guy said they would've had a tough time aligning the car if something were off.

I guess it's mod time?

I'll call the :tints: place on Monday to schedule an appointment.

How much was the remus? Is it valved?

The cheapest valved systems I know of are the borla and magnaflow.

It was 2k with the second cheapest tips, valved. Canadian dollars, so like 1600usd plus tax.

Dang. I'll do the res delete first.

Exhaust prices are ridiculous for this car. I got a brand new turboback for my GTI for under $1k.

Yeah, they did my GTI too.

They quoted me at $260 including the small front quarter windows. I'm 99% sure I'll be doing 35% all around.

:tints: going on now. They found some welding specks in the rear window from when the new quarter was welded in. I shouldn't notice them though. They're very small.

Done. 35% with the little quarter windows. Of course they had trouble with the passenger side one as there was some silicone sticking up from when the factory glued the window in. They did a good job on it doe.
