That RRM bumper caps looks so good. How is the ECU working for you? Is it worth it? Overall looks good man.

vipkizashi,
Thanks bro! As far as the Piggyback ECU, it's been working out great. I just posted an evaluation of all my mods in the Performance section, but yeah, I'm very happy with it. The throttle response is definitely improved, but I just wish I had more horses pulling my Kiz.
. I'm happy with the way it is, but honestly, I think its because I did make the modifications that I want more! I have so much fun driving this car that I want more from it. I realize that that might not sound like it makes sense, but, I think maybe it's become addictive! If you're just looking for a little extra and to curb that initial CVT lag, I'd recommend the Piggyback ECU, SRI, and of course the CF Bumper Cap for looks. But yeah, I've had a good experience with RRM and recommend them.

I know how it is trust me . I have built many cars in the past and it's like a drug. You buy a part and you can't wait to see how much of a difference it will make. Cosmetically as well as adding horse power. Good luck with your project. Keep us updated. Thanks bro!

there is a recall for our kizzy's. They changed the pulley from plastic to metal. Hopefully you didnt spend money for something you could of gotten for free

No, the recall was for the pulley tensioner, what I upgraded was the crank pulley.

How do you like the roof rack?

I like it a lot, although I'll have a better opinion of it this summer when I put the bike carriers on it and test out hauling my wife's and my bikes.

Hey a freakman is it worth it to get any of the upgrade you got. Which ones would you recommend in order? Thanks I appreciate it.

giankigreco,
Yeah, for me, I think they're all worth it. I encourage you to read my assessment of them from the "Performance" category, where I have two posts with more details regarding the upgrades.
For me, this is how I'd rank them:
1.) Piggyback ECU
2.) Short Ram Intake
3.) Carbon Fiber Bumper Cap
4.) Catback Exhaust (with Thunderbolt resonator added to tame the beast)
5.) Lightweight Power Pulley
Hope this helps,
