Hello all, just bought my '07 Sky Redline a little under a week ago. Previous owner threw some goodies in for me, so I am in love with what I've got. About 35k on the clock currently, and got it for what I consider a steal. Glad to be here, can't wait to go to events and meet up with other owners!

Welcome! Your forum name wouldn't have anything to do with the rock band Rush would it?

R2112 · « **Reply #2 on:** June 30, 2010, 11:27:54 AM »

Most definitely would, I am seeing them July 19th at Mohegan Sun Arena, as well as July 11th in Ottawa Canada, and I can't remember the date at Red Rocks, but I'll be there as well! HUGE Rush fan!

Welcome to the forum. Do you have any photos of the car?

Welcome to the forum. There are several of us on here from the CT/RI area. I am up in Middletown area along with a few others. We get together about monthly and try to do a cruise or big event in the spring and fall. Look around and welcome again!!! May the mod bug bite another...

I look ridiculous in that image, but what the hell

Middletown!? That's excellent! *Waves from Durham!*

Sweet ride, looks like it's lowered and some nice rims.

Thanks! Just had my first bad experience with it being lowered, couple of minor scrapes on the underside of the front bumper. Not really noticeable, but some touch up paint WILL be applied later today after the wash and wax!
There's also a Greddy Boost controller, a Dejon intake, and the Magnaflow exhaust. Quite nice!

Edit: Oh and my favorite part, debaged!

R2112 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 30, 2010, 12:45:20 PM »

And thanks to all for the welcomes / compliments

Damn, I didn't had the chance to hit the new guy with my favorite smiley:

Ooops, I just did

Welcome and congrats for such a nice ride, looks sharp, wheels and lowered is the cherryon top of this "cake".

P.S. we don't look at you, we are interested in the car

Critterman · « **Reply #15 on:** June 30, 2010, 01:04:02 PM »

Welcome aboard. doesn't matter if it is lowered or at regular height. The lower side of the front bumper catches hell.

R2112, you are not alone. I did the same thing to Miss Red Eagle our 2007 GXP shortly after taking delivery, and it was "not lowered". That's all it took for me to be aware of curbs. Haven't hit one since. Thankfully, it's out of sight. What mods might you be interested in adding?

R2112 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 30, 2010, 01:12:12 PM »

Realistically, I'd like to be around 350 WHP. Haven't even started to figure out how to achieve that, but the cars current mods seem to put it at around 300. (22 PSI) Not much further to go.
Unrealistically, I'd love one of those Mallet V8's in there.

I am interested in seeing if there is some kind of lip available for the front bumper, I think it would look good. I was considering a larger spoiler too, one that actually fills out the entire backside of the car, not merely the middle as the current one sits, some window tint for when the top is up so the car looks a bit more 'matching', and I can't wait to tear into the dash and throw in the 7" Pioneer touch screen in-dash I have waiting for it.

I am VERY aware of all curbs now myself, and I don't expect that will ever happen again.

I don't know why they even painted the under of the front bumper

IMO the whole bottom side of the bumper should have 14ga stainless steal plate.

Just got to see the pictures, best color there is and the wheels look familiar, same ones I have on my car which is the same color.

Hmmm... Another Mod idea... Wonder if my fab shop could make a usable/paintable plate like this... TTYL, need to make some phone calls.
