Your car shines so bright on the road.
I've never seen another red 2nd gen look so good in person

I had just come from the car wash and was on my way to black rapids when we crossed paths

Bad luck strikes again.
Tomorrow morning I am leaving on a trip. While driving today I noticed a slight wobble in the steering ,that wasn't there before. Walking back to my car from the store I noticed on my front wheel my wheel weight is completely missing. So I run the the local auto parts store and got some for free :) and fixed it all up.

Other then that no recent mods to the car.. debating on buying some metal end links. worth the buy?

Get the endlinks. They help a lot. The plastic ones flex a lot so you don't really get full use of the swaybar. With the solid endlinks, they're relatively cheap but they definitely make your car handle a bit flatter, helps a bit with turn-in.

I bought the Hardrace front endlinks which work just fine. For the rear I bought Uro parts brand endlinks. They are the front endlinks from an 2005 2.0L Audi A4 turbo.
I bought them through Rockauto.com and the part numbers are #8E0411317 and #8E0411318.

They work well, the ones I bought have one side that's threaded, you can either drill the threads out like I did, or go to a hardware store and buy bolts with a matching thread.

I had a small issue where my factory bushings were dried up and the endlinks were a lot stiffer so the swaybar would shift side to side in the bushings causing a little bit of a squeak when cornering or when I would hit a bump cornering. It went away after a while, but you can just lubricate the bushings and it'll be no issue. Other than that, no complaints.

It actually looks very nice with that single projector. Do they also blink amber with your turn signal like these Oracle Lighting® - LED DRL Flexible Strips (http://www.carid.com/oracle-lighting/oracle-lighting-led-accent-drl-75090418.html)?

These look like a pretty good deal, I'd go get them but I really don't need them. They would look good on your car though
