TBH the car was never supposed to get so crazy. I got a new job in the city so I take the train to work. Now my car is only for fun and auto x/track days. So at this point I will do whatever beside a full gutting lol.

I wanna see some pics with the Bronze on. I have bronze on my twilight blue mica but they are being moved to the V8 car. It is going to be painted titanium. I'm adding the 01+ factory skirts, bumper, spoiler, headlights, sport front spoiler and having the shop sand off all of the pebbled rock guard as I think it looks like crap plus painting my HT so I will look almost exactly like yours. I have considered selling the bronze 6ULR's as I don't know if it will look good with the Titanium. I'm actually waffling on ordering black, silver or nickel.

After 10 weeks here are the shocks. I am sure they will be worth the wait. My alignment is set for this saturday. After that the car will be done and ready for my first HPDE

Very nice!
Might I add a suggestion to your alignment specs to consider on a later date. Add 1/10* tow IN on the front, this will equate to 0* toe when the car is in motion because of centrifugal force.. I used to go with 0* but still had excessive tire wear. On my last alignment, I went with the 1/10 IN and the car feels much better and even with -1.9 camber, there is no excessive wear
