    That car looks awesome. Well done and seemingly well deserved. On a side note... I had the same exact car. The before version that is. And i can't say how happy I was to see the seat torn at the seam. That happened to mine one day when I was vacuuming. I must have knelt on the seam as I was cleaning the passenger side. When i showed it to the guy at the dealership he laughed at me and said that doesn't happen from what I said. He accused me of standing on the seat with my head out of the sunroof! He insisted I was lying. Ever since I've been nervous Nelly while kneeling in the seat and reaching four anything thinking maybe it was my fault. This is just proof that these cars had this issue. Vindicated.

    Can't forget that huge wing for that show ass car.
    It was a decent handling/appearance build then that wing just blew it.

    I have a 2011 jeep patriot, I am trying to get a sound system for it but I don’t know what to get, also, is there anything I can do to the car like am I able to change the exhaust or anything?

    Hopefully you guys get something interesting like a domestic sports car like a mustang/camaro. Don't get me wrong, these cars are fantastic, but I loved the ones where you guys get out of your comfort zone, and really have fun with the different things. Like a good old 05-09 mustang gt or something like that.

    Randomly came across this video/channel. Love the work you guys done, not only did you visually improve the car you installed functional parts AND cleaned and painted under body (suspension/brake area at least) That is dedication you rarely see
    Subbing and watching more videos for sure
    My 5.7 Hemi 300c could use this kind of passion, all the way in New Zealand sadly can't enter
