So I took out the Aluminum driveshaft due to crazy vibration issues and put the stock one back in and I replaced my BMR diff bushings with Steeda diff bushings. Well vibration is gone, but there is still a clunking noise in the rear that remains, so I am going to tackle that tomorrow. As far as the driveshaft goes, I called Shaftmasters and gave them weld to weld measurements and it turns out that the driveshaft is possibly a driveshaft made for a V6 auto which happens to be one inch longer than the GT. So now I have to decide if I want to send it back to be shortened or not. So far this has been a huge headache, hopefully that will get resolved soon enough.

That just sucks.
Hope things turn around for you man.

Not even sure. I bought it from a forum member, who says he never had issues but I do not see how. Shaftmasters says the order was placed correctly, so I think maybe someone just did not mark it properly since the only difference between the two is an inch

So a few updates. Haven't quite decided on what I am doing with my driveshaft yet, but I did purchase a GT350R steering wheel from CJPP today. I also just got in some all-weather mats to replace my others mats and I received some howler fender emblems. I didn't want to install them on my fenders so I decided to try something else. I also had a couple shots of my car edited. Enjoy!

Next up will possibly be demon eyes, and the RTR lower grille to match the upper.

So I finally figured out what to do with the "Remove Before Flight" tag. And it turns out that 3M tape doesn't really stick to fabric. I had a feeling it wouldn't, but it definitely sticks real good to metal so I relocated it and so far so good. I am worried about the heat eventually loosening it up, so we shall see. Still haven't figured out what to do with the other emblem yet. I also ordered some custom door sill plates that will probably take about 2-4 weeks to get here. :cheers:

Bought it without the bezels, sorry man.

Decided to get my Mishimoto coolant tank powder coated. While I waited I installed my stock tank that I painted myself just to see how it would look. Here's pics of both.
