Car looks clean. I would say that the parts they took from you are useless. You just need bigger injectors, fuel pump, and a electronic boost control solenoid. Then get a tune from one of the norcal tuners. The way it felt at the dealership wont even compare to what it will feel like after you do this.

Sounds to me like YOU agreed that you wanted the car STOCK... They gave you a stock car as you requested. So they are definitely not in the wrong here at the end of the day lol.

Nice car but $24K is in Evo X territory. Dunno about that in the end but as long as you are happy with your purchase then welcome to the community! The less Hondas/Nissans around the better lol.
