Well, I managed to get the headlights installed after a bit of modification.. due to the fact that they were HID-retrofitted projectors, they didn't want to fit, or else I'd have had them in last night. Pics:

And also, I finally have a picture of the tuner (and short-throw shifter)

The tuner doesn't need to really be in the car still, but it looks so damn cool... besides, if something happens that I can only get 87 octane gas, I need to have it to reinstall the factory tune anyway.

You'll find that several of the more senior members have moved on to other cars, but they still stick around to help other members. In return, we support their new projects.

lol gene gets so offended at the term senior member

but anyway, as soon as I get my wheels shipped out (probably next week), I think I'll be ordering a rear seat delete and a FRPP aluminum driveshaft.

Also, one night this week I'll hopefully remember to go get the exhaust hangars for the dual exhaust, and hopefully by next weekend I'll have the 3.73 rear end gear so I can have that and the LSD installed.
