Air Lift installed

I mounted the tank under the rear deck just like LMR did. The compressor and manifold are in the spare tire well.

I like that idea. LMR kinda ghetto rigged it lol. Are you running 1 or 2 compressors?

Just a single 400c compressor mounted to the drivers side of the factory "emergency inflation" kit. There is plenty of room to do another compressor on the passenger side though. The only thing with this location that I'm not pleased with is that the trunk carpet panel rests on top of the compressor itself. If you use the isolator mounts, it will sit up even higher forcing you to rig up something to space the carpet panel upwards.

Gotcha, I was hesitant about only having ordered one compressor seeing as everyone had 2. I'll eventually buy the second one. My bad on all the questions, but how tedious was the plumbing itself? As in feeding the tubes through the car. I plan on doing this myself on some jack stands.

saw this car at cars and coffee last month in west palm, looked great my favorite stand there aside from the 350R

I did everything by myself in my garage with just jack stands and air tools.
My most difficult parts were:
1: Mounting the air tank to the rear deck. I'm 6'4" 230lbs... Getting into the trunk and contorting my body to be able to mount the tank was a pain (literally).
2: Getting the rear springs out. I didn't have a pry bar long enough to get leverage on the control arm to get the springs out. I fought with it for about 3 hours and finally just dropped the subframe. I wish I would have just done that to begin with as it was SUPER simple.

The plumbing was quite simple as well. I ran the front air lines through the rocker panels, followed the rear fenderwell, and up into the trunk at the rear most grommets. The rear air lines enter the trunk in the same location.

Just ignore the harbor freight leader hose... It's only temporary as the Viair Leader hose that came with the kit (18") isn't long enough to reach the tank where I mounted everything. New hose is on the way.

Thank you for your help. I'm very excited to get this install going. And even more excited to see how the car looks like. :cheers:
