    I love this car, I also got the carmate lower tray, and the blinker mirrors are on order as well. Once I figure out what wheels Im getting Im going to order the springs too. Ive decided to just get 17s more LRR tires available and the rims are around the 16-17lb range. I dont have any pics of the car stock except the ones in this thread lol.

    Installed the bar today took about an hour.

    Jacked up the car put in on the jack stands. Used the hand jack to support the lower shock mounts while I undid the lower shock bolt.

    Install ball joint and mount shock back in place. Repeat other side.

    I used heavy duty zip ties to hold the bar in the rear channel

    Once I completed installing the other ball joint I tightened down the bushing brackets. Remember bolts always go up and out. The bar pretty much centers itself. However always check with a measuring tape. The center of the bracket should be 10 inches from the outer end of the channel theres actually a tab there that helps and im probably not being too descriptive.

    like mac said, you move fast.

    are you going to put in the tanabe front strut tower? i didnt realize this until i put it on that it will block your fuse box from flipping up. a heads up.

    It's been a while but I just picked up some small parts from japan!! The visor is pretty cheap but does the job and gives another pocket to store my phone. Lastly i finally found the proper tow hook LEDs.

    Also looking for opinions, should I have the LEDs go on the same as my current ones by tapping into the stock lights. Or should I make these stay on even with headlights. In that case what should I tap in

    Personally I think it will be too much with heads and fogs on. But I'd like to see it.

    Bought the nav shield from easy auction japan, it is made for RHD but the plastic was really easy to trim with a pair of cutting players I didnt even have to sand it down. The plastic doesn't really match with the dash but I plan on light sanding it down to dull the shine.
