On to sad news of my weekend Neighbor's kid broke my Driver Side APR CF Mirror!!!!!! Well the cool Euro blue glass popped off fell and shattered in a few places. So with that said I am somewhat pissed off, maybe I can have a glass shop make me some new mirrors as a just in case type thing. It was dark when I saw the carnage, I guess my mom knew about it and did not say anything to me about it until it was dark. Normally I would be in a Roid Rage type of mood/attitude but I kept my cool, and asked the kids playing around my car who done it. So my neighbor kid said he did it, I turned to him and whas I will talk to your dad about it later. I know they have company over and he was probably on his second 12 pack or Sierra Nevada so I will talk to my neighbor tomorrow. Hopefully they will take responsibility for this, and I can get the glass piece replaced, I still need to see if the housing is fine or not. I am somewhat mad, but at the same time I know **** happens. He said he barely touched it, but why would something I locked down with and allen wrench move so far forward if it was only touched? Sp yeah, hopefully this will go somewhat smoothly when we discuss the damage. I know he is going to **** a brick when he finds out that the mirrors are $300+ shipping to replace. So yeah, rant is over for now!!!!!!!!!

Get away with the mirrors?? Hmm never really heard of them not being legal. In fact if my windows are not tinted I do not really need to have side mirrors on :O Anyways thanks for the compliment. I am resolving the issue of the broken piece of glass tomorrow with my neighbor.

Little update for now, no pics either. Will get some tomorrow after i get it all tuned. So after about 4 years or so my Pioneer DEH-9600MP decided that it did not want to work all that great. So after thinking about it and finding out I had some decent speakers in my car already (bought it used) I decided to upgrade my sound system So today I bought a Pioneer DEH-P400UB Premier It is quite nice and was not expensive either. Has the main functions I was looking for, low key for not getting stolen Has preset and programmable EQ, USB/Ipod connectivity and also Subwoofer control for on or off. This head unit is recommended strongly by crutchfield as it has a integrated Sound Level Adjuster which makes the sound more crisp and clear. Since i-pod and or mp3 files are compressed and what not. It helps make it sound more like cd quality as opposed to compressed figity sounds. Anyways here is what else I am going to put into my car to finish off my system:

Already Installed:
Pioneer DEH-P400UB Premier
Pioneer 12 CD Changer
Infinity 6.5 Seperates + Crossover + Tweeters
Infinity 5.25 Components

To Be Installed:
Alpine Flex 4 4X75W -Mids and Highs
Some generic 2X500W - Sub
Audiobahn 12" sub 400W
1" Cubic Foot Sealed Box - More then enough for what I am doing
Monster Cable 4 Channel RCA + Remote
4 Gauge Monster Power Cable
6 Gauge Monster Cable Ground Cable
Lightning Audio Distribution Block

Should turn out to be a nice setup, also debating as to whether or not I should get a different amp and or 12" sub as well. I ran a 2 12" system before in another car I had before the STi and I only want to use 1 12" but I am not trying to make too much noise. I just want to hear my music a little bit more clear and feel some bass as well

Also need to update my parts list as well.

Blitz Nur Spec R
Blitz Drop In Air Filter <----Just added a few days ago no more oily Perrin DIF
APR Rear Diffuser in CF
APR GT3 Mirrors in CF
Defi Controller
Defi Boost Gauge in kga
Swift Springs
Gruppe-S V2 Header Un-Equal Length Wrapped with Thermo-Tec
Crucial Up Pipe
JDM Rain Guards
Real V-Limited Lip
Black STi Floor Mats w/ Pink
Volk Rays CE28N 17X8.5 +44 offset Satin Black
Rays Black Lug Nuts
Falken Azenis RT-615 235/40R17
Subaru Short Shifter Kit
Apex-i Turbo Timer
Helix V1 Down Pipe
Cobb Accessport V1
Pioneer DEH-P400UB Premier
Pioneer 12 CD Changer
Infity Seperates 6" Front 5.25" Rear
Small Trunk Munkey hangs in rear window
Big Trunk Munkey is too evil so lives in the trunk
Removed Front Subframe
Removed Rear Bumper Beam

Thanks for looking should have pics tomorrow
