At the dealer. I will post more after I get some of the parts thrown on. Already installed my lighting from diode dynamics and the Eibach sportlines. The MBRB race exhaust sounds great too! Will post video after I install headers and intake w/ tune

Just an FYI for anyone who has a lug nut spin on their wheels and can't seem to figure out what the problem is.... With the help of my buddy, I learned the factory lugs have a chrome playing that will just spin on the lug if it breaks loose.... After he spent a while chiseling on it and hammering they finally came off. Get new lugs lmao.

Well spending the entire week of vacation working on the car. Finally putting the parts on... FYI pulling the factory rear subframe and diff bushings really sucked. Lots of cutting and hammering them out. Those guys at BMR make it look easy on the instructions... :crazy:
The headers weren't too bad to install... just be ready to bust your knuckles up pretty good.

Also having an issue with installing the G-Trac Brace. Seems to me that when the holes were punched in the front subframe they left behind big metal tabs therefor I can't install it properly. Talked to David@Steeda and turns out that they made a fix for this issue, some spacers that come with the kit but I bought mine second hand on the forums and they are an earlier version of the brace. He is going to set me up with the proper hardware... More to come.

Great products from BMR / Steeda / Stainless Power / Eibach / MBRP

Still got some odds and ends to button up then I will throw the nitrous outlet kit and tune on there!

In case anyone was wondering how it runs I put down a a 7.78 in the 1/8th mile with a 1.7 60 ft. at Sturgis, SD dragway. Still getting used to the slicks but my time has improved from my original 8.92 & 2.23 60 ft.

Nice job. Are you at the rally? I've been here since Wednesday.

Actually I was not able to make it to the rally. Out of town! Will be there next year though! :cheers:
