It can be a pain, my suggestion, if you have a friend with a lift that owes you, nows the time to collect. The pumpkin does'nt have to come out but must be lowered a bit. The axles can stay attached though. Driveshaft is removed, theres a single nut on the back of the rear cover that comes off so the pumpkin can be moved forward enough to be lowered. Don't forget to remove the vent hose. New diff. comes with new vent pipe to be installed. Yes it is a ***** but the outcome is worth it. Sadly I installed the TS rear Diffuser which completely hides the diff. cover but in your case will look very good. The cover was only around $80.00 from Performance. GTspec will also look good. We'll be waiting on pics.

What exhaust is that, it is really colorful unlike my JIC. I love the coloring, looks like one of those crazy amuse cans.

edit...ahhhh Agency Power....i looked through your threads and found out.

also, i have the fold too...i just put some double sided tape under there to hold it up. Been holding for about 3 months now with no signs of coming down.

SP Engineering plate frame gives away the fact that you must love supras, are they doing anything for the 350s. I love that RX-7 with the hks twin'd supra motor that they put toether a while back.

Awesome! I just did this to mine and am in love with it! It makes it look like a kit is on the car. One suggestion though, take off that heat shield (unless you already did). It sticks out like a sore thumb!

Your dead on about the finned diff cover! Im all about it also!

Good mod!!

I hope it doesnt affect the sound input because the exhaust is too damn loud.
