Thanks. Doesn't take much to get it to look like that, just a fresh wax and some new wheels. I think it'll look even better on coilovers (future mod).

Thanks. Hopefully it's helpful to some people looking to do similar mods.

I'm curious, what's the point of the cup holder delete? Do you just hate the design so much that you had to remove them (probably a good enough reason), or is there some other benefit?

Also, what were your impressions of the Eurosport Exhaust Tips? Have any pictures installed?

I actually don't mind the design of the OEM cup holder, they work well enough. What I can't stand though is rattles, and those OEM cup holder were one of the biggest offenders in my car. Cup holder delete solves that.

I actually haven't installed them yet. Just bought them. They look like quality pieces though. I saw them pictured on this guy's car (link below) and thought they looked sweet, so I wanted to get a set for my self.

What's the iPhone app for reading out codes? How does that work now that you have the P3Cars gauge installed - can they both be in at once?

For iPhone apps, I use both Rev (screenshot above with the headers) and DashCommand. Both work, but I feel like Rev has gone stale with development, while DashCommand continues to get improvements.

In order to use one of those apps to read the codes you need an ELM to WiFi device. I'm currently using a PLX Kiwi. It's a bit flakey for my taste, but it works.

See Harry's for a list of other devices:

I know DashCommand will work with the GoPoint BT1, and this is probably your best option.

The way I have the P3Cars gauge installed, I just unplug it temporarily and then plug in the PLX to read the codes with Rev. When I'm done I just plug the P3Cars back in (I leave it plugged in 100% of time).

Oh btw, if your car is throwing codes then the P3Cars gauge will read them and display them when you start the car. After briefly showing you the codes the gauge will go back into normal operating mode.
