Welp, I picked up the car and the kit on Thursday. Took about a week longer than I was expecting, so it's not all put back together. I have to go out of town this week, so prob 2 more weeks til it's done.

I did take some pics today though of the current state of the car.

Kit:



Installed the puddle lights into the sides:


Hatch with shaved rear wiper and OEM spoiler holes filled:


Wing mounted:



Bumper and one side skirt sitting in place (sort of!):

Car looks sweet, pink wheels are really throwing off the look though.

You going to have to raise your car if you feel like driving it. Looks good so far.

Ugh! I'm trying to decide how I'm going to do this now. I think I can drive it at the height it's at, but will have to be VERY careful. I'm considering going to an Air Runner setup, but I've never been crazy about air bags and that's not really the route I want to go. But, at the same time, that would allow me to go everywhere.

I have also considered a cup kit, like Umbrella's, but he only does the fronts only.

So...we'll have to see how it goes. I'll probably try it out a bit how it is, maybe raise it a tiny bit, and then make a decision on which route to take.

I left town this morning, so I'll have to take measurements this weekend when I'm back home.

And I'm not sure about the low/high mount. I bought mine used, so I didn't do any research on what options are available. Sorry.
