i like everything!!! except for the spoiler, too much excess IMO. i like a spoiler that looks sleek and as thin as possible, but not too small NOR too big. examples are: Nismo, stock ones, and the custom made that looks like the new Celica's, etc...

thanks for all the kind words guys...but keep em coming
aaaaaaa - no changes whatsoever - used stock shocks (they are desinged for use with them). They are just a tad stiffer than stock springs IIRC, and the drop is only about 3/4 inch. We checked alignment afterwards and it was still in spec and car went just as straight as it did before springs install....been on the car now for 13k miles, no issues. But they are about to be ditched in favor of the Cusco Zero 2's
Ultimateone - they would look SWEET on your car in bronze!
Kinetix plenum went on tonight - looks like I have to do some trimming to the carbon engine cover to get it to fit, though the stock one fit fine (its back on the car now). I did not get a chance to fit the engine damper, as I nee to trim the bracket out slightly due to the Kinetix plenum....which happens to look pretty nice under the hood....you don't really notice the big logo at all!

thanks sir
I am very excited about the new wheels going on soon (still trying to decide on what color - SBC or black spokes)....I think it will look a bit classier with the SSR's on, whereas the Work's look more "hard edged"
